It's December already

2011-12-07T20:38:00.002+08:00

Hi All!!! As usual, i reappear again....lol! Definitely a lot has happened and i shall go through the highlights...

October - hmmmm.... i cant seem to remember what happened in this month. Well what i remembered was that i was supposed to move to my new role on the last week of october, but because my bosses were not looking hard enough for a replacement, they had to retain me that last week and only let me go as of 1st November. That last week, i had to spend half the day in Jerudong and the afternoon in Gadong. So it was a lot of driving up and down for me.

November - I finally start full time in Gadong. Being in the front lines is definitely different and a big eyeopener for me. The work is not as hectic like my previous role. I move around a lot more in this new role, a lot of running around and interacting with a lot of people everyday. I don't spend a lot of time infront of a computer like i used to. it is very fun and i feel much more "free". The only downside is that i have to work saturdays. To be honest, i konk out quite easily these days. I'd get so tired after work that when i wake up in the morning i feel like i don't have enough sleep. It's a good thing i guess, i sleep much better and i kinda "exercise" more than i use to... LOL!!! Also, i went to Penang to accompany my sis for her Penang Bridge Marathon and no, i did not hold up a sign this time. I think holding up a sign would be reserved for KK's Borneo International Marathon. My sis says she will doing it again next year, so i will be more prepared this time round. I'll hold up my sign, be prepared with my camera, a pen and paper. Just in case i ever meet any cute runners that could potentially find me cute and not run away from me... hahahaha... As corny as it sounds, i just hope that particular one will be there next year and that i'll finally remember how he looks like! About my new role, it is definitely interesting and i have made new friends already. I mean i do know some of them but getting to know them has been interesting. The only thing is because my sister used to work there with some of them, they assume i'm like her and have mistakenly called out her name instead of mine. I do look a lot like my sister but a lot of people assume i am an exact replica of her. Looking exactly like her is cool, because that means they're looking at my face and not my body but thinking that i act like her, is a whole different thing. Some people who have gotten to know us both or have closely observed us, have found that we are very different. I'm not as loud and chatty as her. I'm more quiet and reserved around people that i am acquainted with. If i know you better, then i would warm up but other than that, i'd definitely make small talks and flash you my big smile. Some people are quite surprised how different we are. Lookalike sisters with different personalities. My sister is so friendly that she makes a lot of friends, especially clients. Sometimes when these people see me walking on the streets or in a restaurant, they stare or smile at me like they know me but of course they don't know that i'm not my sister. Then if my sister comes and join me, then it clicks to them and they always go "Oh, i thought she was you". Funny stuff i tell you.

So now it's december, i'm on leave for the next few days. I'll be back to work by monday... boo hoo =( I have been lazing about today and so far it has been good =) 2012 is coming pretty soon so i have no expectations, just that i have a feeling that next year will be a good year for me. Things will definitely be better. I know some people are worried that the world will end in 2012. I'm not. To be honest, i saw bits and pieces of the movie 2012 and this is what i think. If the world were really to end in 2012, i don't think God would tell us, he'd just wipe us all out at one go. If we were meant to die in 2012, then we'll just all die at one go. There won't even be time for us to prepare. so if you're worried 2012, don't. If the world is meant to really end in 2012, then it would. But if it isn't, it's best we don't know when. So live your life like it's the last and enjoy it while it lasts =) xoxo

As always, it has been a while...

2011-09-18T19:08:00.002+08:00

Hi all... as usual i disappear for a couple of months and then i show up again... Definitely a lot has happened since May. I will try to do it systematically by going through month per month... hahahaha... so do bear with me but if you get bored well u know what to do =). So let's start now, in no particular order that these events happened in the months...

June - I remember this was a hectic month. Firstly we had a Mexican Family Fun Day for all the staff and their family members. I just went to for the fun of it and i definitely got tanned. Then at the end of the month there was the Bank's half yearly team building activity. We actually had a barbeque at the beach and there was supposed to be a mini beach olympics but it rained. I stayed a while to eat and then i went home and ran some errands. Then there was system testing, there was one day where i had to stay back at work till 8.30pm to do system testing and work. In this month, we also had a movie departmental date and dinner, we had dinner at McDonald's and we watched Green Lantern. I really enjoyed Green Lantern, partly because Ryan Reynolds is HOT and was in his boxers in one of the scenes. During that scene when Ryan Reynolds was only in his boxers, my male colleague who sat beside me said to me "I bet you enjoyed that KeL" and i was like "UHHH - HUHHHHH!!!" =P... Ya i know i gatal, what's new with that right? hehehe It was also that "time" of the month, so i went through a crazy chocolate phase and had very bad mood swings... nearly everything annoyed and pissed me off. In short, my hormones were RAGING like crazy. There was the tyre embarrassment day, i went for breakfast with my mum early one morning and i parked right in front of the restaurant, then some of these uncles were sitting at a table outside the shop. One elderly uncle said to me "Eh kawan, u punya tayar ahhhh..." In my head i was thinking that i hope i don't have a flat tyre. The uncle then continued "U punya tayar ahhh banyak lumpur ohhh" I sighed in relief and said "Rumah saya banyak lumpur bah" Later on while having breakfast, the uncle passes by me inside the restaurant and flashes me a big smile... Me, freaking embarrassed!!!! hahahaha... Remember in May i was TTR when i came across a customer whom i called had a birthday on that day, well i came across another customer and i wished him happy birthday!!! yay!!! In terms of baking, that month i was not successful in making a peach and banana crumble.. my crumble did not turn out well. June was also a sad month as one of my young cousins, Helmi passed away in a car accident. Some car rammed into him while he was headed home... His girlfriend got away with a few scratches but sadly he did not make it, he succumbed to his injuries. He was only 21 i think. He was a very sweet young boy and i had the pleasure of getting to know him when he was posted at my workplace. May his soul rest in peace.

July - Bridex happened, i did not go because my sister did not want to see military weapons but it was a decision we both regretted. All them hot military men were there!!! it's ok i made a promise to myself that when they have it in Brunei again, i will definitely attend it =D I watched the last installment of the Harry Potter movie and it was AWESOME!!!! My sister also went to Manila in this month just to accompany her friend, she bought me greyish, purpleish pearl necklace and matching earrings... i am in LOVE with them!!! best accessories ever! I also lost my pictures in my camera my memory card decided to go loco on me. Late this month, the bank piloted the new system we were using, it was hell because our user could not do anything and we had to wait nearly a week before we can do anything plus it's a difficult system to use =/ In food terms, i "premiered" my pilot batch of Hersey's chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and rice krispies hearts with chocolate frosting. it turned out great! everybody loved it! I also attended the OTTERS toastmaster meeting in OGDC. It was great, i caught up with an old friend and met quite a few interesting individuals, in particular the "and so we meet again" guy... explaination for that will be coming up soon =P

August - I have a pen set obsession, so far i got myself a Sheaffer pen and pencil set and then a Cross pink stripe pen and pencil set. I love them both and i wanna get MORE!!!! Crazy but yeah =) It was also the month of Ramadhan, i went out sungkai about 4-5 times only. I think i hosted a speech marathon at Liz's house where i met the "And so we meet again" guy. Seriously, that was how he greeted me "And so we meet again" and then he shakes my hand... when i first met him, he approached me and said hi, then he said to me "Did you know that health is important?" i replied "Yes" but at the back of my head i was like "Apakan?!?! i GET it, i know i'm fat" but you know, being cool KeL is not hard, i just went with the flow and we chatted about health... hahahaha... such irony ya... and to describe how this guy looks like, he is fit and he's got a very nice muscular body. The kind of guy you would want to hear fitness about. But in other terms as in do i like what i see... Ok lah, cute jua lah in his own ways but not what i like. Physical looks, not my type, not the kind that rocks my boat... hahahaha ok i am shallow a bit and i know i don't have much to rock other people's boats but yeah. August also marks my 4th year love-hate journey and relationship with the bank. Late in the month, I was also approached by my former boss about joining the front line crew in the bank. She wanted me in her team because she believes that i can talk very well. Very important decisions to make but i said no but would consider it in the future. Food terms, i was not very successful in making molten lava cakes... no lava coming out of the cake =/ but no worries, i will attempt it again =D

September (well up to today =D) - It's Hari Raya month, i went to a couple of houses, some houses i did not go so i am very sorry... I met the "And so we meet again" guy at an open house and to assure you all, he still used that same line. I think he wanted to talk to me at that open house but i kinda avoided him and was successful. Jahat ah aku ah... hehehehe... i also went to OGDC to attend their speech contest, i also had Sri Kandi's kebab that day from their express stall in KB i think, chicken and beef... it was YUMMY!!!! Earlier in the month, work was as stressful as ever, i felt that the new system kinda doubled our work. I asked my former boss on tips how to handle front line. She gave me useful tips and she then asked me "Are you interested?" I told her i would definitely give it a go in the future. Little did i know, that future was not far away. Then something happened at work which was the final straw for me to put my foot down and say enough is enough, i can't tolerate this shit no more, 2 years is all i can take. The advert for the front line post was closed but i asked some good friend in HR if there was any openings and my friend asked me what i was looking for and will let me know soon. That same week i got called for an interview. I did not know abt this interview until i came to work on the day of the interview. i went home an hour early the day before to go to OGDC. Interview day and i came to work in one of the bank's collared t-shirt. I was not informed by some parties that i has an interview that day but that did not stop me. I went for the interview and one of colleagues said i got it already. But i was not too sure until i get that confirmation from HR, when i got the offer the next week, in 3 minutes i replied and said "I accept". My boss and line manager was shocked as they don't think i would move to front line after 4 years in back office. For me, i see this as a good learning opportunity and i know i can do it. So i will be moving departments by October. I am quite happy, i know that this will be unfamiliar territories but there is nothing you cannot do without learning, hard work and perseverance. Well for this weekend, i had to attend my cousin's church wedding and stuff. I was not able to attend my Penguin friends open house, i was excited to go but due to a lot of things going on and the reception at night, time was not very kind to me. So sorry azwan and penguin friends, i was so excited to see u all already =/ it's ok there will be another time for us to meet again. During later part of the reception, we heard news that one of our cousin got into a motorcycle accident at 5pm and the doctors tried to save her but she succumbed to her injuries and passed away. I heard she was riding by herself and she got into a self accident, she crashed into the metal side railings of the road. She was only 26. God bless her soul and may she rest in peace. Her funeral would be taking place tomorrow. Well today, i was also overbooked. I had to be the timer for the first half of the Toastmaster's Area contest and then i had to pick up my friend in Rimba and then go to a colleague's wedding in Pengkalan Batu. i only came home around 3++pm.

So many things happening, in such short time. I was thinking about death and i have watched my dad take his final breath before my eyes. It was heartbreaking but we all knew that it would happen and we had to be prepared for it. My 2 cousins passing away so suddenly and both in road accidents, it makes me think that i don't want to die like that. If i were to die, i want to go peacefully like how my late dad did. People had to be prepared for it. I know their families are all in shock and to cope with a sudden death is definitely very hard. So drive safe and responsibly people. But like some people say, it's all fate. God loves you much more so he takes you earlier so you can join him and all the others up in heaven. May all the souls of the people whom we know that has passed on before us rest peacefully. They are all looking out for us from above. XOXO.

HSBC Walk Run Cycle and other random stuff =)

2011-05-26T22:27:00.004+08:00

Hey Peeps! I'm back yet again =) So i have had some interesting moments at work for these past few days. You know, working in the bank where i call tons of people everyday just to verify their purchases is quite routine. Some days you get demanding customers other days, you get them ok nice ones. Usually before i verify their personal purchases, i ask them if i could verify some of their personal details. There was one customer, i asked him "Can i have your date of birth sir?" He responded, " Ok, it's today 19XX" I *feeling very awkward and thinking should i say Happy Birthday?" responded "Ok.. thank you very much Sir" hahahahahaha.... i should have greeted him... but since i am more experienced now, i should.... hahahaha. The other funny situation happened today. Before i asked my verification questions to my customer, he said jokingly "It's still the same me. I'm still the same person so shoot away with your questions..hahaha" I was like "eh..hehehe? =_=" ok..." It has been quite an interesting journey for me in the bank. it's like nearly 4 years now that i will be in this bank, which brings a grand total of me being in the banking industry for nearly 6 years. To be honest, i quite like banking with all the new people and acquaintances. It's just some days you feel like giving up and calling it quits! I'm hanging in here =D.

On to other stuff, here are some nice photos i would like to share with you. Just random things and 1 pic from Walk Run Cycle that i manage to snap away with my ipod touch =)

This was one of those days when the sun was so hot!
Taken on 18May11 at 7.56am!

This was one of the fridays when our boss belanja us big ass cookies.
Honestly, i can make quite a mean batch of Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies but these were HEAVENLY!!! It was not sweet and everything i wanted in a big ass chocolate chip cookie.
The other flavour was White Chocolate Macadamia... OMG!!! The white chocolate just melts in your mouth! These cookies are TO DIE FOR and i think they're about $3.50 a piece!!!!

The only picture i manage to snap at the Walk Run Cycle Event... Should have brought my water proof camera instead!

A stolen shot of me and my sis from one of the HSBC Walk Run Cycle photog!
I look so round! hahahahaha =P

Borneo International Marathon 2011

2011-05-02T22:53:00.002+08:00

Hey all!!! i'm back yet again to tell you about my adventures but before that, i forgot to mention a very important observation i had whilst i was in Singapore. It may be true but based on what i saw, it was hmmm...hahahaha... ok Let me just go straight to the point. While i was out walking around in Singapore, i noticed that if a Caucasian man was not with other Caucasian men or Caucasian women or even with an Asian woman. He is always with an Asian man... and i think they swing that way... so yeah odd but could be true or not. Overall, i think i saw in my whole SG trip, 5 pairings like that... Just my thoughts to share =D

Oh, i found something odd today. Tell me what is the most weirdest place you have found an army of ants. I always find them at home, at my desk at work, my handbag sometimes and also in my car but today i found a reasonable army of them ants in the toilet at work and wait for it... ON THE TOILET BOWL!!!! Mind you to my eyes, the toilet bowl was clean ok... so i thoroughly washed it off... made sure it was ant free and continue with my purpose of visiting the toilet.

So the Borneo International Marathon 2011 was held in Kota Kinabalu on 1May2011. Honestly, i don't run marathons but i was there supporting my sister and all the other runners who passed by me and my bright pink sign/poster =D. We stayed at the Likas Condotel which was quite close to the Likas Sports Stadium where the marathon was held. My sister did her first 21km. We flew in from Miri using MAS on Saturday afternoon and we left on Sunday afternoon. We only went to 1Borneo to get stationary for me to make awesome sign/poster and to find food. It was a really fun experience. So enjoy some of the pics i have below =D

The hotel room number we stayed it. We actually booked for a double occupancy room but in the end we got a 3 bedroom apartment for RM150++ per night. It was a really nice and big apartment but it felt a bit empty even with the two of us. To me it felt a bit hollow. If i was given an apartment like that to stay in, i would make sure i have 4 ppl living with me!

This was my famous bright pink sign which i held up for about 2 hrs! This was taken today and i look so dark! hahahaha. It was quite an interesting experience holding up this sign and seeing the reactions of the runners, pedestrians and practically everyone who passed by me. I was holding this sign a few meters after the 1km mark to the finish line. One man who passed by me earlier that day, said as he passed by me "Buat kacau aje". Well obviously he was not there to see what impact this sign had to the people running the marathon. Standing there by myself in the sun smiling at anyone, I got a lot of thumbs up, claps, thank you's, "Thanks for the motivation!", "Good job", "i like your sign/poster!", "i love you" and some actually touched my sign/poster. Only one runner looked at me and gave me a thumbs down =( Some people who saw my poster/sign started running to the finish line after they saw it. I also got quite a number of runners taking pictures of me or the poster/sign and i was also asked to pose with some of the runners and the organizers who were on bicycles as well. A few curious people asked me what exactly i was doing there so i told them, i was supporting my sister who was running her first 21km marathon and i was waiting for her. The poster/sign was there to motivate everyone who passed by me. The only thing i did not do was take my camera and take pictures of the runners passing by. The highlight of my motivational wait and stand was a good looking thai runner who has already finished the race and was headed to his hotel, i think... which i suspect could be the same hotel that we were staying at. He came to me and said "Hi, i really like your words. Thank you" and then he shook my had and said bye while waving at me. He walked on a few meters, looked back and waved at me again. He was oh so cute and i did not take any photos of him or even asked his name. *sigh* i'll probably meet him in the future again... who knows =D As for my sign... that is not the last people will see of it =)

My sis sleeping at the airport while we were waiting for our flight back.

The sun... we sat under a sunny place as it was cold in the terminal... trying to get some warmth =)

The tiny plane that we were on going to and from KK. To be honest, don't be deceived by this small plane. There was plenty of leg space, the seat belt fits me no extenders needed here =D and i could put the table tray down and it would not touch me... hahahaha... it was surprisingly a pleasant flight =D

So i guess this is it for now! i had a very good and fun experience and i wonder if i will ever see any of those pictures =D Good night all! Muahz <3

Another holiday trip story =)

2011-04-26T13:33:00.003+08:00

Hi all!!! Just got back from a holiday from SG with my mum, sis and our friend. We used Air Asia so our flight was from BN-KL-SG and vice versa. Our friend is crazy i tell you. For now, i don't ever wanna go on holiday with her ever! All she wanted to do every night is go clubbing! And all the clubs we went to, the crowd were not "happening" not much people seemed like they wanted to dance. Clubbing is not cheap! And the last night we were there, a sunday night, she insisted we go to a club again! Who on earth goes clubbing on a sunday night! Lucky for me and my sis, the club was deserted! Other than that, i had a good time shopping till my feet hurt like crazy!!!

I noticed that the new craze now for foot wear is Fitflop. Because my feet were so much in pain, my friend suggested that i buy a pair of Fitflops. So i was keen on getting them... seems like they were the "in thing" and made the person wearing them feel like they were walking on air. Well, i did not get it. Much to my disappointment, the creators of Fitflops, did not think about the ladies with wide feet. I'm not ashamed to say that i really have big feet. I wear a size 9 or size 40 shoes. When i tried them on, they were so tight that i was like forget it and i tried a size 41! So fitflops were never meant for me.

I did a lot of shopping, i bought a lot of bags! I finally visited the Perllini store in Plaza Singapura and i bought so much bags that i got a lifetime membership with them! hahahahaha. Perllini bags are affordable and may not be as fancy as Carlo Rino or Bonia, but i really like this brand. I bought a couple of bags from their classic line =D Then i also got a Sembonia backpack for $45!!! this was at a sale at Takashimaya. it was the bag to wrap up all of my bag shopping. I was also trying to look for clothes from Dorothy Perkins and Marks and Spencer but they did not have what i like and DP did not have my size. Lucky for me i manage to buy a little black dress from DP!!! Expensive but worth every penny i paid and i will cherish it!!! hahahah so yeah, plenty of shopping and eating at burger king too.

So below are pictures of what i managed to snap with my ipod touch, to be honest i did not even use my camera at all! hahahaha... so enjoy =D

my view when we we flying from Brunei to KL

Eating chilli crab at Jumbo Restaurant in Clarke Quay! Best chilli crab eating experience ever =D

Motivational words posted on an MRT Sign board.

From Rubi Shoes and dedicated to all them shoe lovers out there

CK Underwear Vending Machine at ION Orchard. So men, if by any-God-knows-how chance you lost your underwear around ION, you can buy them here instantly! =) hahahaha

So i guess this is it for now, i shall be back at work by this friday... arrrrgggghhhhh.... i wish i don't have to work! then i'll be flying off again on Saturday with my sister for her Borneo Marathon. Hopefully i'll still have energy by Monday! hahahaha... Bubyez! Muahz <3

The long awaited update

2011-03-15T21:00:00.005+08:00

Hi All! My sincerest apologies to my readers (if any) for the lack of updates... The past 3 months have been very busy busy months for me at work and to be honest i do not feel what i use to feel at work. Things have changed but for now it has come to a point where i am not very happy with my surroundings. Don't get me wrong here, i love the job, i love working in the bank and all but some things are just not very favourable. But hey, you can't please everyone right? At the moment, i am looking for opportunities outside the bank so hopefully i do get an answer outside. For now i will continue tolerating with what i have because i know i can survive it =)

Let's move on to more brighter things =D. I can't really remember what i did for the past 2 months but here are the main highlights i remember... i know, i'm such an old person, cannot even remember what i did... hahahahaha... should start loading up on those raisins eh? hahahaha

So in January, the bank had the Annual Dinner event so it was Grease night, i dressed in all black and got dolled up. I had fun during the dinner and i did a bit of dancing. There were great performances, food was alright and i went in hoping my ass of that i would win a 42" TV and nothing else. And my ticket won me an the new edition 8GB ipod touch!!! hahahaha!!!! it was so unexpected but i am very grateful that i won something. Last year i won a phone, this year an ipod touch. I felt that this was a good start to the year. To be honest, my instincts tell me that this year will be a good year for me and i believe it despite all those feng shui things saying that it won't be a good year for rabbits. So for me, i trust my instincts more and i believe that this year will be a good year =)

My winning ticket

My ipod!

After that i remember that i volunteered for a mural painting at learning ladders. it was fun. i just volunteered for the fun of it and painting is fun =D

Then there was chinese new year in the office!!! This year i felt that the CNY celebration at the office was more lively! And i think i collected more ang pau this year... hahahaha... there was a lion dance in the office and on our floor we had about 4 lions going around and they even brought the drums up in the office to play, so it was pretty loud. there was lots of eating too, but where there is good food there is always good company =)

My friend discovered the Mr Brown Macadamia Nut coffee and it tastes good!!! a bit milder that the French Vanilla one but this tastes real good! 2 thumbs up from me

Early March, i turned 24!!! I don't feel that much of a difference but i do realize that hey, i'm already 24, i need to stop acting like a little kiddie that i am. 2 of my friends actually asked me out for dinner on 3rd and they surprised me with a cake from Mr Bakers. I like Mr Bakers!!! I love their profiterole cake and my friends actually got me a Mississippi cake. and it was so chocolatey that i love it to bits!!! It's to die for i tell you... i will try to upload some pictures on that soon. My other friend made an announcement over the p.a. system at work and announced to the whole floor it was my birthday. Then kak mai decided that she wants to treat me for dinner again on my birthday and we went to the beach cafe just to end my day by seeing my favourite waiter but he was not there. I got a tweet from an old friend that he was working at the pool side restaurant, so kak mai told me to hurry up so we can have dessert and hey presto he was there. He did not wait on us but he served us our food with the biggest smile i've ever seen from him... hahahahah. My dear friend kak mai is a bit crazy at times, she went over to ask for a glass of water and requested that he served her water and to wish me happy birthday! He came over and greeted me with a very flushed red face. OMG!!!! He was so cute!!! I was so embarrassed that i don't think i can ever show my face there again. But too bad he has a girlfriend already. It's ok, i can just see =)

So the next few not in order photos are of my recent holiday trip to KL!!!! Honestly, they're not very big on customer service there, so KL was a so-so for me. And it was my first time flying via Air Asia. It was not too bad, i was impressed with our landing in KL. It was so smooth athat i was like, what we landed already? hahahaha... so Air Asia is now an option!!! =D I cant wait for my next trip!!! WOOT WOOT! SG here i come =D

Mr luggage was lucky to ride in the front but he had to wear a seat belt. Safety first!

We had dinner at Tony Roma's this was my Big Stack Burger and it only cost RM24.90. It was so good!!! Plus my drink was a refillable coke in a huge ass glass for only RM6.90!!! I must say that Tony Roma's was the BEST place where i got EXCELLENT customer service. If you want royal treatment while dinning, Tony Roma's is the BEST!!! Our server was call Mr Nawab and he was such a fantastic server... Then the burger... oh i have a lot to say about the burger! I am quite obsessed with burgers. The size of this burger i would say is as big as the Classic American Cheese Burger from Charcoal, but this is better. I'll tell you why. Sometimes when i eat a very meaty beef burger, i get a lil' bit heaty and sometimes rasanya mcm sampai ke jantung... i dunno how to describe this but i can feel a bit discomfort ard my heart area or i'll get dizzy and one time i had a nosebleed while eating the burger. Maybe it's me but maybe it's because the burger is so thick and meaty so i "heat" up faster. But this burger from Tony Roma's was the BEST!!! Eventhough my burger was meaty and well done, i really savored it and no discomfort just pure joy eating it!!! i can still taste in and i fell in love with that burger when i saw it!!!! TWO THUMBS UP FOR TONY ROMA'S!!!! It made my trip complete and enjoyable

This was us waiting for the KTM to get back to our hotel

So i guess this is it for now... will try to update more often now. so adios for now. bubyez <3

Happy New Year 2011!!!!

2011-01-01T21:04:00.002+08:00

Hey all... So it's 2011 already. I have already laid out some of the things that i wanted to do. I just hope 2011 will be a better year for me. Just an update, for these past few weeks i have been eating a lot and i learned something during the christmas weekend; i am actually the sister that some of the relatives know/met/heard of/seen/remember. One of my distant cousin said to my sister, in front of me "Oh, she's the one we don't usually see right?"... hahahaha To be honest, i don't feel insulted or offended. I quite like it that a lot of my relatives can't/don't recognize me. Not that i'm trying to be snobby here or something but i feel that at least i won't be so watched like my other sister.So i guess it's a good thing.

So for 2011, i think these are the things i want to do/achieve =D

1. Try flying via Air Asia once. <-- Am doing this when i'm going to KL next year.
2. Try to spend my birthday overseas. <--Am only doing this the week after as my line manager will be on leave =/
3. Buy that $600+++ oven
4. Lauch the online baking biz <-- considering this still because somehow i feel that next year might not be right.
5. Buy an ipod touch
6. Wash my car more often or send it to the car wash more often.
7. make plans and save up for 2012 UK trip <-- Scratch UK, will make it Melbourne... Am planning to go during an Australia open =D
8. Look for outside opportunities
9. Spend on diamonds on myself
10. Experience a ZoukOut!
11. Learn how to swim since i now have sufficient swimwear.

I think that is it for now... i'll probably come out with some more things along the way =D So i guess this is it... Let's hope 2011 will be one of the best years of our lives! Cheers! Muahz <3

Time really flies...

2010-12-19T09:18:00.002+08:00

... when you're caught up in a lot of things. Hi All!!! I can't believe that i made it through another year. To me this year passed by so fast and it seemed that yesterday was something i did last march. Wow... time really did fly. I must admit that i did went through some tough times and i hope that next year would be better. Hopefully there will be lesser tough times and more good times.

Before i get on to what might be my plans for next year, i want to talk about the singer Bi Rain. My friend from Melbourne, one of the twins, Kakra is crazy about Rain and she posted a link on my facebook wall. And it was Rain's video. OMG!!! He is so FREAKING HOT!!! Check out this link and tell me if you don't agree with me. I LOVED the part when he ripped his shirt and when he pulled his shirt over his head and danced. OMG!!!! It's so hot!!! HOTNESS i tell you!!!! hahahaha... okie enough of going man crazy for now.

On my transit in SG, i did write out a list of what i wanted to do next year. Well in 2012, instead of going to UK, we will probably head back to Melbourne and then go to New Zealand. And the baking biz, i'm not too sure about that now... At the moment i don't think next year will be the right time just yet. And as usual, i still have not found my direction yet. I'm still exploring a lot of possibilities for now. Hopefully it will come soon. I think this is it for now. I'm gonna go indulge myself in more Rain videos on you tube... hahahah. Bubyez... Muahz <3

I'm back!!!! =D

2010-12-12T15:43:00.002+08:00

Hey all, so yeah i'm back from Melbourne. I touched down in Brunei on a Wednesday Afternoon. My trip was a very relaxing one and i really had a good time plus, my sis and i is gonna make this a bi-annual trip! Yay! I had fun getting to know my sister friends and it was very cool. They are twins and the difference between them is quite huge. Anywhoos, When i left, i was in SG in transit for 2hrs and you know what, i bumped into Rozan. He used to work with the bank and the same building i was in. He was also in transit before going off somewhere for work. It was good to see him and it was a bit weird that i would actually bump into him outside of Brunei. Hahahahah. So the trip from SG to Melbourne lasted 7hrs. In that time i manage to sleep a bit, watch a couple of tv series and Despicable Me. Despicable Me was a really good movie.

So we landed in Melbourne at 10++ am and the twins picked us up. We got lost trying to go back to one of their houses from the airport... hahahaha... that same night, they had the hens night for one of the twins and we actually went to a strip club! hahahaha... it was the first for me and the waiters were so hot plus they were topless the whole time!!! With their muscles and their fit abs... woooohhhhhh.... i enjoyed what i was looking at.... hahahaha =P. The next few days after that we were running around with the twins, assisting them with errands and helping them in the kitchen and all. So when the wedding day came it was cool, the reception i must say is different from what we normally have here but it was interesting. It shows how different cultures celebrate marriage differently. There were so many things that happened when i was there that i dunno where to start. I'll just give u a short list of things that i did/see... well just the highlight of it =)

I went to a strip club and enjoyed the sight =D)))
Had a good time at the wedding and found how they did things were interesting.
After the wedding, we went to Phillip Island, a mini holiday in my holiday... hehehehe =D
Went to the Nobbies, Chocolate Factory, A Maze and Things and the Penguin Parade while we were in Philip Island.
Got pooped by a seagull while i was at the Nobbies.
Since the house we were staying at Philip Island was so close to the beach, we went to the beach often.
Saw a seal while we were at the beach.
Flew a kite while i was at the beach.
After Philip Island, we went to the other twin's house in Dandenong.
I walked to Dandenong Plaza =D
Visited 2 Direct Factory Outlets.
Went to Northlands 2-3 times that week we landed when we were there.
I love K-MART!
Watched a korean drama, Full House while i was there.
Went to Docklands.
Pancake Parlour is the BOMB!
Watched Narnia in 3D while i was there, but seriously, not worth your money, movie did not have as much action and some parts were not even in 3D! Plus Prince Caspian never took of his shirt =(
And oh, we visited a friend in St Kilda =D

And i think that is it...but u know pictures speak a million words, so if u have me on Facebook, check out my pics =D For now, i'll just leave you with some pictures =D. That's it for now... Bubyez!!! Muahz <3

Well at the moment i'm in transit at T3 of Changi Airport and it's a bit warm i must say and plus, aku SAKAI tadi in the plane!!!! hahahaha =P To be honest, it was and is my first time flying on a big plane to Singapore with a small TV screen in front of me and the table does not even toucg my tummy plus there is plenty of leg space!!!! hahahaha.... TTR bah aku tadi at the airport and the plane.... hahahaha

So anyways, i have 5 more mins before i end this, so i feel at ease at the moment and this is like the moment i have building up to during the year... Finally i get to go on leave... I'm very excited and for these past few nights i could not sleep well because of it... hahahah... iski banar skalinya.... The last time i had a long holiday was in March and i practically slaved till now to get here... I know i will enjoy melbourne =D So yeah... i'm very happy, no crazy shit, no work and no more drama =D An oh i booked a holiday to air asia in march next year... so i guess this is it for now.. bubyez ... muahz <3

2010-11-05T13:38:00.002+08:00

Hi All, it's exactly 2 weeks before i fly off for my long awaited holiday. A few things that is currently happening, firstly, i'm selling off my PSP slim because i don't use it as often as i should so i feel it's such a shame to leave it lying around the house with no use. I got a buyer already so hopefully all goes well =) Who knows next year i upgrade to an ipod touch... heheheheh...

Other things, the other day i went to Lilli Lingerie and i came out with 2, well undergarments... i'm going to be very clean with my words here...hahahaha.... it's not what you think... seriously... hahahah... i did not come out with lingeries, i came out with 2 bras to be exact. You're probably wondering why i would go buy them there well i will tell you why. I don't remember what year it was but i was having a dilemma with supporting my "girlies", back then my current support was not very good and my back was always in pain. So one day, my sister decided to bring me there because one of her friend recommened to bring me there. so when i got there, i got measured and put into the right support and hey presto! my back problems are gone! So eversince then i have been using bras from Lilli Lingerie and i cannot go back to them normal ones because... well i don't fit there anymore, if you know what i mean. To be honest, yes the bras are quite pricey but they last you quite a long time and good support is essential. Being plus sized, there is no way where you can lie about your size and think you can fit into them normal off the shelf hua ho kinds... hahahaha. Ans it does make a lot of difference, so ladies, if you know that you are well equipped and when you can afford it, do drop by there and check it out, at least get measured and buy 1. you will definately feel the difference =). ok enough of bras.... on to other things..

The other day, i had a thought. i wanted to make a list of things i want to do next year.... i was so enthusiastic about it in my head that i now forgot some of the things in my list.... so here goes... somethings on my list =D

1. Try flying via Air Asia once.
2. Try to spend my birthday overseas.
3. Buy that $600+++ oven
4. Lauch the online baking biz
5. Buy an ipod touch
6. Wash my car more often or send it to the car wash more often.
7. make plans and save up for 2012 UK trip
8. Look for outside opportunities
9. Spend on diamonds on myself

I think that is it for now.... i gotta go back up and work... will try to blog more soon =D

26 and a half

2010-10-23T20:10:00.002+08:00

Hi All!!! I know i have been missing for a long time... i have been busy baking and selling cookies and other stuff too. As the title says it, 26 and a half more days to go before i fly off to Melbourne for my big and long holiday away from Brunei... I will be away for about 19 days (counting saturdays and sundays). This is my first trip far away from home and i'm pretty excited... I do travel but it's always to singapore and lately KK and next year i might go to KL as well. My aim for this trip to be a relaxing one where i have no care in the world... just to let go and forget everything for a bit and really enjoy myself. So i guess that is it =D i'll try to blog some more before i leave.... Bubyez... muahz xoxo

~i hear Melbourne calling my name..~

Raya and random stuff

2010-09-19T20:59:00.002+08:00

Hi All... so i've been missing for quite some time again... A very Selamat Hari Raya to all of you out there. Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Hope you all have a good time visiting friends and family. To be honest i was busy making chocolate cornflakes and famous amos chocolate chip cookies during puasa and like i said in my earlier post this year was the biggest order i have ever received. These cookies had to be the size of a 50cent coin as per requested and i can tell you it took me the longest time ever to bake!!! And also last night i attended my kaka angkat Diwi's open house. There is a story to this, she actually wanted me to make my Marie biscuit tiramisu dessert as her...well....dessert =). So the night before event, i decided to buy my ingredients... i bought everything except for Philadelphia cream cheese because i could not find any. I even sent my sister on a wild goose chase to find the cream cheese but to no avail. So i texted Dee to tell her i can't make the tiramisu because i can't find cream cheese but i will make her something for dessert. She said ok and that just as long as i made her some dessert she's fine. I spent till midnight that night looking for a fast and easy dessert and i found it, Soya Bean Milk Jelly Longan dessert. And i had to buy my stuff and the individual cups for it too... I again did not take any pictures because i was too busy... my mum took her time in the kitchen and i started at a later time. i actually made 2 kinds, Soya Bean and Bandung. The last batch of the dessert did not have enough time to set but overall for an untested and first batch run dessert, it turned out to be a success!!! =D yay!!! It was a crowd-pleaser and a lot of people liked it!!! So i now know what i need to prepare beforehand when i make this dessert.

Today, i actually got up to church because my sister wanted to bring me to Heidi's house for Raya. Whilst getting ready we both decided that we should actually come back home before going to Heidi's and that i could go back to sleep if i wanted to but since i already showered and was halfway dressed, i decided to just go. The service today was interesting because of 2 things; 1. the choir was bigger and they are called a Chorale and 2. the guest speaker for the sermon Mrs Chan. The choir (my sister is also in it) did very well. They sounded really good today. Then there was Mrs Chan, the guest speaker. Now this was the really interesting bit. Just to give you a background on Mrs Chan, she's actually a music director in a church and a choir consultant for churches. In the early part of her sermon she mentioned that it will be a participative sermon. So during the sermon not only did she gave us her personal testimonies in the Lord and made us read Bible verses for her, she actually belted out songs in between. I think it was 5-6 songs. And in the earlier parts, when we were not participating by reading the verses on the screen she actually said to us "You all need to help me read these Bible verses, if not i won't be able to sing later" i thought that was strange and a few minutes later, she sang us a song, kinda opera style. My personal thoughts on this went like this :-

Wow, it's like a musical. Breaking out in songs in between.
She was full of expression and emotion, so i think in real life she must be a bit of a drama queen, her expressions, actions and voice said it all.
That sermon kept me wide awake... Don't judge me on this, i'm sure some of you out there have nearly fell asleep during a sermon =D
She's a really, really, really good singer; hands down, no questions asked.
Wow... that was a really interesting sermon, the content and the style.

So yeah it was really interesting. Nothing much happened after that. We just went for breakfast and while my mum and aunt did some grocery shopping, my sis and i went to look at some kains. My sis bought a lot today and i did not want to tempt myself just yet because for me pay day is just 2 days away!!! Yay!!!! =D The happiest time of the month for most people... hahahaha. After that we got back home, changed and went to Heidi's new house and HOMAIGAWD!!!!! LAWA BAH RUMAHNYA!!!! hahahahah... i love the style of the house and the kitchen was HUGE!!! i love the fact that the style was a bit western whereby at the windows, there is a built in seat or space where you can sit and from the living room. Since the doors going out to the garden was clear glass doors, the view overlooking the garden was really beautiful. Heidi told us that if we have time, we can just chill at her house. And if we do that, i am so going to take pictures and explore the house!!! It is a really beautiful house and i want one just like that... heheheheh =P

Before i sign off, just some random thoughts :-

if i am not mistaken, i have about 61 more days to my Australia trip!!!! Yay!!!! I need double check my calendar tomorrow again
It's raining tonight...
I still have orders for Chocolate Cornflakes and my Famous Amos Cookies
I made a new friend at work, well via email that is, Mr Mei ( i know that he might be reading this, so hi Mei!!!! =D)
For breakfast, i ate porridge with cut chilli, lime and soya sauce on the side.
My sister called me weird for doing the above. And yes, i do admit i am weird. I'm proud and happy to be weird, otherwise i won't be me... heheheh =P

Okie peeps... i think that should be it for now... bubyez... Muahz <33

i've been MIA

2010-08-24T22:32:00.002+08:00

Hellew all... yes i have been missing in action for quite some time =D So a whole lot of things have been happening and i mean a lot!!! Please bear with me as i have a lot to get off and this will be one hell of a long post =)

Firstly, it's puasa which means i'm busy making orders of chocolate cornflakes... This year, is by far the most i have to make... My most beautiful kaka angkat decided to order 1000pcs from me!!! Plus i have orders to entertain from the office as well. I foresee that till puasa ends, i will be sleeping at least 5 hrs a day. Plus, my beautiful kaka told me that some people want to buy my "tester" cookies... The chocolate chips are hard to find now but i will put effort into finding them. The other day i went to that big electronic store in gadong where hua ho used to be. I was looking for a really big oven. My plan next year is to start a baking business where i would be selling cookies, cupcakes and chocolate cornflakes. A lot of credit goes to Dirah who gave me the recipe for these wonderful chocolate cornflakes... thank you so much because the recipe is helping me in a lot of ways. Back to the oven... i fell in love with one of them, it was so big and it had 5 stove on top of it and it cost $1499!!!! i am so buying that oven because it would be so convenient for me and i find it quite cheap too and it's electric too... I have so many big plans for next year so i just hope things will be better next year and hopefully everything will run smoothly =D

On another note, my bmobile jet phone is giving me so much problems... i think the battery is busted... without the battery, i can't switch the phone on and i can't go online... That is why i am so gonna buy a usb modem in kb this friday because it seems cheaper there... that way i can just plug in and go online hassle free. Bmobile does not sell extra batteries for their phones nor do they sell their usb modems to their existing subscribers without a prepaid line attached to them. And oh friday i'm taking the day off and i will be going to miri to spend that rm$200 voucher on a handbag =D... so yeah friday is just 2 days away... yay yay!!!

Next on the agenda is my bestie, Amie... She went off to Singapore for an interview and the other day she told me that she got a job there and is starting work on this friday. I'm so happy for her... and hopefully if all goes well i shall visit her some time next year =D

Then there is Zek with his apology video to his girlfriend Emma... My thoughts on it was that it is hilarious and embarrassing. In the video, i thought he was going to cry but he did not, so it did not seem that sincere to me. And if he did shed a few tears, i think people would feel sorry for him and help him find his "Princess of the Earth" Emma.... hahahahah The part i hated was when he kissed the camera, it made me pull back from my screen and scream hell no!!! hahahaha... But honestly, he is brave to do such things but seriously boy there are other better methods of apology that will not haunt you in the future.

Next up...Date.Dating. So what is your definition of a date or dating? This is an interesting subject as there was one day where my older sister was supposed to go out with "the guy she is dating", not boyfriend ya, let's be clear here "the guy she is dating". Personally, i have met this man and i think he is a nice and sincere person... why it's not official yet, well only God, her and "the guy she is dating" knows. So back to what is your definition of a date with a guy or person that you have been seeing for quite some time? For me, my definition of a date or dating is when a guy and a girl or same sex couples (just in case you swing the other way) go out together, to eat or watch a movie or just go out and enjoy each others company. It does not matter what you wear or do just as long as you are spending time with each other getting to know each other better or if you have been together a long time, get on each others nerves or something =D heheheh... So my sister's definition of going on a date or dating with "the guy she is dating" is that she has to be dressed up. She has to be wearing something nice then it qualifies as a date... i find that quite silly because don't tell me when she is not dressed up and when they go out, spend time or go on road trips it does not qualify as a date or dating...sowhat the hell is that?!?!? Now that is just BULLCRAP!!!! I pity this man... and i have no idea what is wrong with my sister... SERIOUSLY!!!! The things people think nowadays ya...

Lastly to end my very long post of random nothings =) is that i went to Tarindak Polo Club for sungkai with kak mai and kathleen, it's $20 per person just now =D)) the food was great, there was a lot of dishes for the main course, satay, kebab, roasted lamb, an assortment of flavored drinks and desserts, murtabak, mee soup, popcorn, cotton candy a a whole lot more. We saw the chefs fro the beach cafe and they recognized us... hahahaha... we are such regular patrons that they can remember us. When the chinese looking chef saw us, he seemed quite happy and surprised to see us... it was as if he missed us... hahahahahah... and i also saw the hot waiter, i think he also recognized us too... all i can say is HOMAIGAWD!!!! HOMAIGAWD!!!! I SO WANT THAT!!! To me he is so hot and i want to jump on that but i'm too shy. I think he knew i was gawking at him just now plus he looks different in the white uniform, he also kept looking at our table too... *sigh* I will just have to wait till puasa and raya is over till i can go back to the beach cafe and enjoy the ceaser salad and the sight... hahahahah

So i guess that is it, i'll try to update soon =D... Good night and happy puasa peeps! Muahz <3

When i'm bored, i bake

2010-08-07T14:16:00.002+08:00

Hellew all, i know it's been a while since i've updated. Anyways, as the title says it i bake when i am bored... and yes it's quite true. well this morning i had cravings for chocolate chip cookies... i actually baked some last week using the recipe amie gave me, the famous amos chocolate chip cookies recipe... i did not take any pictures of that batch because i was very tired, it was a really big batch and i want to make some of those soon but i think i would half the recipe so i dun have to make so much and take too much time... my oven is very small plus everybody loved that batch that i made. So this morning i searched high and low on the internet to find an easy one... it does not taste like the famous amos ones but they are ok lah if u just wanna eat em for fun =D

The first 12 cookies out of the oven, yes my oven can only fit 12 cookies at one go

Here is a picture of 3 birdies who were hatched in that very nest a few week ago... they have left the nest already

My first attempt at brownie cupcakes... it had a different texture but overall it was not too bad

And oh i went to the consumer fair last week and i won RM$200 Parkson Shopping vouchers. I picked up amie and we went to the consumer fair. Tourism Malaysia had their booth there and the told us, hey come sign up for free, just give us your name, email add and your facebook id and then spin the wheel... I was actually quite reluctant then amie said why not coz it's free. Then we got to spin their wheel and had a chance to wine one of the prizes there. So amie was up first and she won RM$50 Pavillion shopping vouchers. I did not have a good look at the wheel and i did not expected to win. And then when i spun i won the RM$200 Parkson Vouchers, i was so blur because both the ladies were so excited and they were so happy for me. One lady looked at me and said "Gempak sikit lah Dek" hahahahah... that was how blur i was. And kathleen told me that that was the highest prize on the wheel... so yeah i was very lucky =D

I guess this is it for now, am too lazy to listen to my mum nagging in the back ground. I think i'll be baking more tomorrow if i dun have anything to do and i'll probably go out for a while to find some of the things i need to bake those famous amos cookies again. Oh amie has gone to singapore yesterday because she has an interview this afternoon. she says she will be there for a bit to look for a job but i think she wud be back around september to send her lil sis off to uk.

Oreo Cupcakes and playing b*tchy...

2010-07-24T18:15:00.004+08:00

So a lot has happened, so before i go to the delicious oreo cupcakes i made, i had a very bad encounter at work. Ok so, my colleague who i am currently relieving is now on her core leave and is in china for holiday. The thing is she sends monthly statistics to HK every month and it so happens she sent out the mail for june but did not update the figures in it. So HK sent it back to us asking the figures. The thing is everytime she goes on leave, i do update her statistics but she has never showed me or told me about this one. So after really trying to study the excel file and the spreadsheets in it, i manage to figure how to get the figures for half of it and i tried trying to figure out the other half. When i could not figure it out, i smsed her asking her where do i get the figure and that i managed to find half of it and i told her, she can either sms me back or email me on facebook. She then replied insisting that she already sent out the figure and asked me to recheck whether the mail was sent out. I then replied to her and said yes, u did send out the mail but u did not update the figures. And i asked her, where can i find these figures. She then smsed me back asking me to figure it out, and said i should learn because who knows she might leave soon so i have to know all these things. and the she said, if you want my reply, send her some credit because she was running low.

When i read that reply, i was boiling MAD!! i mean seriously, u did not tell me about these figure nor have i ever seen it in my life and u asked me to learn by myself and then have the nerve to ask me for credit?HELL TO THE NO!!! GO TO HELL GIRL!!!! And oh, i'm using a prima so i can't send u no credit nor am i going to waste my money on such crappy replies!!
So in the end i figured it out, and i replied to her and i quote "It's ok i figured it out already. U leave? Seriously? I hope i leave before you do.... hahahaha" And you know, i have been in the department for 1 year and there are things that i am still learning and you know everytime i ask her questions about work which i seriously don't know answers to, she always say to me "U THINK LA".... Seriously... WTF!!!! I usually brush it off but this was the last straw!!! I asked u a question because i really don't know the answers to them because if i knew, i would not ask you and i don't want to do anything until i'm doing the right thing... because i dun want a small mistake to become a huge hoo-ha... I was so pissed. so u know, if she wants bitchy, i'll give her bitch... because she seriously don't know who she's messing with.... I maybe quiet an all but girl it's SO ON!!! U ain't getting any mercy from me anymore!!!

Enough of the angry parts... So on a brighter note, i made Oreo Cupcakes... i googled the recipe and i combined it with one of my vanilla cupcake recipes and it turned out great!!! My sister says it not too sweet and it's just nice =D

cupcakes waiting to be baked.

The oreo with the cream side up goes at the bottom before u fill it in with the batter.

The final product the oreo cupcake!!! I was just curious on how it would taste like so there it is =D

Since i'm typing and all, i might as well give u the recipe to try... you can also substitute the oreo for nutella, just add a small scoop on nutella on top of the batter and using a toothpick, swirl it around... the nutella cupcakes are a hit with everyone... i have made them a lot of times =D u know what i will put a picture as well =)

Last weekend was CRAZY!!!

2010-07-17T00:24:00.003+08:00

Hey all! hope all of you are doing good! Well as the title says, last weekend was crazy for me because i went to Miri, with them bankers to play paintball. It was fun!!! each player gets to play 4 games!!! Fun fun!!! i nearly fainted because i did not eat and i was lucky, one of my fren's younger sister saved me with her lollipop... hahahahah.... yes, one small lollipop makes a difference. if you are interested, you can visit their website here, but it has not been updated for quite a while, so it's best to contact Mr Liew via email or sms to get the rates. i got shot twice, yes only twice because i kept hiding behind the bunkers and only started shooting when no one was shooting at me.... i knew some of the ppl i was up against were quite frustrated with me because they could never get a good shot at me... hahahahaah... strategize ppl!!! hehehehe.... overall, it was fun! and the gun was very heavy but it was worth it =D here are some pictures i managed to snap before i played. and oh if you were were wondering where i got shot, it was on a sensitive part of my chest and yes, there is a mark even though the person who shot me was so far away... i did feel the pain when i was shot and after... i was just very unlucky not to have lovely and colourful paintball bruises to show off... hahahah

people who were already inside collecting their guns and testing them before they started playing.

the bunkers which can protect you... good hiding places =D

people getting geared up before the game.

That was last weekend, an oh yesterday was a public holiday because it was HM Sultan of Brunei 64th Birthday so i had the day off, i did not do much except catch up on sleep and to recuperate after the tiring weekend. I did however went out to Tarindak D'Polo Jerudong Beach cafe for their ceasar salad and cucur... my older sister, karen went there with they guy she was dating and then myself, kathleen and kak mai followed up after that... i should bring my camera there next time to take pictures of the beach... i really love the scenery there and the food and also that hot waiter. My older sister, karen decided to ask the cute waiter's friend his name and now i know his name and also the waiter that we questioned... hahahaha.... it was so embarrassing and yet so funny... so yeah, i know know both his name and his friend's... will i do anything to action on it? i don't think so... i'm a shy person so i won't do that until i've really lost my mind!!! hahahahahah =D

And oh just tonight i went to the Brunei Speaker's Group 11th Installation Dinner at Ilotus! it was fun and zana was good at singing the mandy moore's only hope... it was an interesting and fun night, i really did enjoy myself =) so yeah, i guess that is is for now, i'll try to blog soon =) muahz!

my water proof camera

2010-07-02T22:56:00.002+08:00

The pictures below are not from my team building, it's from the cool people from the 1st floor. I lent my water proof camera to 2 of my friends and they had fun using it underwater. They unleashed the full potential of my water proof camera... i can't swim to save my life so i never thought of playing with it in the pool either... but the pictures my friends took turned out great! they looked amazing and these are the 3 i like the best =D Maybe i should take my camera for a spin when i decide to go swimming or something =D as for my team building, well it's nothing to boast about or worth mentioning. we went to work and then went for lunch and that is it.

A group picture with some of them. Amazing how some of them managed to pose =)

I personally like this shot, wina (the one in green) looks like she's a mermaid, while efah (the one in brown) looks so like she's not even in the water and mizzie (the one in blue) looks like she trying to get some of the spotlight from them... overall, great picture!

Them, trying to pose again under water.

Oh if you're wondering what camera was used in this process, well its the Olympus 1030sw, click here to see a review written on it. That is exactly how my camera looks like and i bought it 2 years ago... so yeah, it works perfectly well under water =D

Also, the colleagues and i are having a small celebration at work on Monday... A celebration for what you ask, its a celebration for "The noisy bunch has finally left the building" celebration... hahahaha... this time round i won't be making dessert, i'll be making nutella swirl cupcakes! yay! To be honest, i think i need to learn how to make new simple desserts, my simple tiramisu and peaches and cream are getting too over rated i think ... and yeah, if you did not know, i like to bake and stuff =D, i guess this is it for now, will try to blog more. muahz and bubyez =))

Seriously, i have World Cup FEVER!!!

2010-06-28T13:43:00.002+08:00

Hey all.... Well plenty has happened since i lasted posted =D As the title says, i do have World Cup Fever... hehehe.... so far i have 3 jerseys, Japan, Italy and Brazil. I think i should get the Germany White and Black jersey too... and oh, i watched the Germany vs England game last night... My oh my... england did not do too well... I thought that if they had persisted more and did not give up easily, they could have gone down with pride. Germany was fantastic, great defence but i felt at the end where they could have attempted to score, they did not. Actually they had several opportunities but they hesitated. I see it 2 ways, either they were not confident to shoot or they were trying to tire out the Brits... Overall, well played for Germany!

Enough of World Cup on to other things =D I went down to Miri on Saturday with my sis, kak mai and amoi at 4pm. We then went to KB just to eat at Buccaneer around 9++pm. I like eating there, the food is fantastic and cheap! Good place to eat also if you want to go dating *wink wink* Also another great place to eat is D'Tarindak Polo Beach Cafe. You know that beach cafe down the hill from D'Tarindak in Jerudong.... I LOVE going there, i love their Ceasar Salad and their cucurs.... Mind you, they do not open on Mondays and operating hours daily are from 2pm till 10pm and cucurs are only available before 6pm. Not much choices of food but i find it a good place to eat with a great view. and oh, i saw a HOT waiter there too... heheheheeh... i like looking at guys, i'm sorry, what's a girl to do. But the hot waiter has a ring on the ring finger so he's off limits. So girlies, when a man wears a ring, he's off limits and must be avoided. Plus, i ain't no home wrecker, MAN + RING = OFF LIMTS AND DANGEROUS. hehehehe =D So we bankers are now fast approaching the half yearly mark... don't know what my department will be doing... to be honest, i don't really want to do much. I'm lazy. and oh silly random fact, i have not washed my car for at least 3months... so yeah, it's very filthy...heheheh

Wait now i remembered why i wanted to post... i was re-reading my previous post and OMG!!!! My english has gone down hill... hahahaha =D))) i guess this is it for today and hopefully more posts to come. xoxo KeL

Drunk people, great makeup, World Cup and HOTTIES!!!

2010-06-19T15:04:00.006+08:00

Hey all! so i have been missing for over month! I've been lazy to blog and occupied with some stuff. Anywhoos, i'm gonna do a bit of flashback to see what has happened for that 1 month =D For may the biggest highlight was 28May2010, it was the 1 year anniversary of my Dad's passing. May his soul rest in peace. I do think about him every now and then but i don't feel his presence as much as i did a few months ago, so my guess is he's really gone to watch us from above. I've been through a whole ups and downs lately but i'm not too bothered because somehow i know either way everything will be ok and back to how it is.

May also started the functional man craze...hahahaha... okie, this is how it goes. There is this one functional engineering man who once in a blue moon comes to the office. He looks like he's eurasian and i find him hot! i wanna jump on him but i don't know if i have the guts to do so. After the Oscar night, i actually asked my friend, the clairvoyant if i would even meet a guy this year and she just said that i will meet one but i have to approach them first. so yeah, if you see someone who looks just like me, jumping on some dude, oh yeah, you got that right, it is me! hahahaha... so yeah functional man has caught my attention now =D

Now on to June, the first weekend, i attended a colleague's wedding and it was not too bad, i like the food and i had good fun. Then the weekend after that we had a bank event, Oscar Night. My friends and the clairvoyant happen to be in the event committee so i did help them out a bit with the script and the re packing of door gifts the day after. I had fun dancing at the after party and i had a good laugh watch people get drunk at the after "after party". The things people do when they get drunk.

To be honest, i never get drunk or high at these events because i don't know what i will do and i don't want to be the laughing stock the next day. So RULE #1 for big events is DO NOT GET DRUNK! you don't need to get drunk to have a good time, i've watched so many people in the past get drunk for these events that i seriously have a good laugh at them... mean but yeah they seriously don't know what they are doing and they need someone to tell them the next day.

RULE #2, DON'T SLEEP UNTIL EVERYONE LEAVES. with loud music and drunk people, there is no telling what will happen so i did not catch any sleep till 3++am. And also one colleague got so drunk that i had to pull him and made sure he had some sleep before he left with another colleague at 4.30am, which of course i woke up and made sure he was ok to drive. This drunk colleague, so so silly that he logged on to facebook and wrote some things he should not have said on his facebook status. His girlfriend wanted a breakup on his status and blamed us for him being drunk. So boys and girls, if you have a possessive partner, RULE #3, WHEN DRUNK, DO NOT LOG ON TO FACEBOOK. WAIT TILL YOU'RE SOBER. The boy deleted that status and apologized to his girlfriend. Dunno whether he patched things up with his girl tho =D

Anyways, i got Heidi to do my make up and it was AMAZING!!! i did not take much pictures myself, because everything looked yellow in my camera. But i made sure i posed at every chance there was a photog snapping near by. Several people did ask me about my make up and of i course i did advertise. They loved it! so do check out her blog here if you want to see her works =D. You want to know why the make up was amazing, i'll list them out for you =D

She made me look HOT!!!! I'm so using her for Annual Dinner next year =D
The material that she uses are good quality stuff and it feels light on your face.
I did plenty of dancing and i sweat a lot too... so when i pat my face with a tissue, my makeup did not run nor did it looked patchy afterwards.
The makeup lasted till 2++am, i think it could have lasted till the next morning if i did not have to remove my makeup when i needed to sleep.
Heidi's cool and funny =D

These are the pics i got from her blog, i'm still waiting for the pictures from the dinner to appear so i can grab and see how i great i looked that night =D

Oh, tomorrow i also have another bank event, i'm a volunteer for Cycle for SMARTER... So hopefully that will turn out ok. And also World Cup!!!! I have World Cup fever!!!! Hahahahah... and it seams like i'm the only person in my department who is semangatz for the world cup.... hahahaah... And i bought Japan's Home jersey for $18!!! i want to find Argentina's and USA's jerseys next. I watched the Argentina team played against Korea and i can only say HOT HOT HOT!!! The Argentina men were HOT!!! Especially #9 and #16 HOTNESS i tell you!!! You see because of this argentina match, i wanna jump on men now.... hahahahaaha.... i know i'm crazy but who cares!!! So yeah enough of that... i'll update soon... Muahz!!! xoxo

i had a MAKEOVER!!!!! =D

2010-05-16T21:04:00.002+08:00

Hellew !!! so i have disappeared for quite some time... i've been both preoccupied and lazy... hehehehe... work is as usual, a bit crazy. Plus it's soon to be the 1 year anniversary of my father's passing and also in a few months, i'll hit the 3 years mark working in the bank! 3 years, lets hope i can last another 12yrs before i retire and move on to better things =D

Ooohhh... i recently attended a cousin's wedding, both her husband and herself are very young, most probably around 22 or 23 yrs old. What was funny was, during the wedding she had 2 emcees, a male and female. One speaking in English and the other in Malay. So you know they randomly said things and the most bizarre thing they said was and i quote "Both the newlyweds are currently working in Brunei Shell Petroleum eversince they finished their studies." okie. need you tell the world that you're working in one of the best paid companies ever? i must admit, the wedding was very grand and all but need you spend that much on your wedding and show it off to the world? And the hantaran, Diamonds and Platinum! 1 full set!! do you know that it cost u so much to buy diamonds from that place? Did you know that the quality of the diamond is the same as Taka in Singapore, and Taka can give you a better , more sparkly set for cheaper. Ohhhh.... lets not forget the Cannon DSLR (i think) and the Tissot watch! So you know what i said to my sisters, i told them we should also have a wedding as grand as that and then we get the emcee to say "Both the bride and groom are currently unemployed, so any monetary contributions will help them a long way. Thank you." hahahahah... i'm no hater for grand weddings but announcing to the whole world where you work, that's just plain showing off. And spending so much on your hantaran, you know that the items they got probably came out from loans and stuff which you have to pay off your whole life. For me, i would have a simple wedding, around tea time maybe by the beach. D'Tarindak Polo Beach Cafe looks like a good spot for that.. hehehehe ;D

So yesterday, i tagged along with my sister to Heidi's house for a makeover. My sister volunteered to be Heidi's model and when she saw me she decided to do me too!!!! Yay!!! That was my first time at a makeover!!! It was so cool, i really look like a different person, plus my eyes are a bit small...hahahaha... who knew i had chinky eyes right? hahahaha. Overall, i had fun, i really enjoyed the makeover and i will be getting Heidi to do my makeup for a bank event coming up on the second week of june =D)) Oh yeah, if you want to check more of Heidi's work, pls visit her website here. i think my picture and my sis will go up on Monday, i'm very excited!!! heheheh =P

Just need to do something with my hair next time. Enough said =D

Are you Australian?

2010-04-10T20:21:00.002+08:00

Hellew all!!! So many things had happened for the past week or so... firstly, it's the Are you Australian question... hahahaah... Well how this came about was very funny, it was around 6.45+++pm and i was still at work calling customers. If i am not wrong, i was about to complete my purpose of calling this last customer, as the conversation was about to end, the person said, "Miss, can i ask you a question?" I was like, "Yes" the customer then said "Are you Australian?" then i went "No" the customer then laughed and told me that my accent sounded Australian... hahahahah... After so long of calling customers, this was the first a customer has commented on the way i talked... hahahaha... i must admit i find it quite hilarious!

Other than that, i had a stalker-ish creepy encounter the other day at the pantry's workplace. To clarify things so that you won't be lost, i shall explain about this man. When i first met this man, he had this funny smile everytime he saw me. And i mean, it was that creepy kinda smile.. from instinct, you know that that smile meant something else... plus he's married and i happen to know his wife. So at work i would try my very best to avoid crossing paths with this man and since i have moved to my new dept, i rarely crossed his path. So i went into the pantry to wash my cup, then the door closed behind me and then there was a soft hello greeting me from the back, i turned, i saw this man and said hi, my head said "oh shit!!!" He then asked me, "you've moved dept already right" i was like "yeah" when in fact i've been in my new dept for already a good 9 mths! then he said " Oh, it's because i never see you pass by near my dept anymore" and i went "oh, i see" then he went on with more questions, "your dept, is that isolated dept at the end right?" i then said "yeah" at this point, i was washing my cup like crazy " then he said "oh, we rarely go round there to visit you all" by this time i finished washing my cup, i turned, smiled and said "yeah we're very far away from others. ok bye" and walked out of the pantry. UUURRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! I don't ever want to be anywhere alone with that man and plus, the pantry is a very small place!!!! eeeeeeeee!!!! creepy much and gatal!!!!

That's all abt work... on a personal note, i have a lot of catching up to do in terms of watching my downloaded series! i have not been updated since the week before i left for Singapore because i was sick. i have downloaded them already but have not watched them yet. I like watching Glee, Vampire Diaries, Community, Accidentally on Purpose, Big Bang theory, just to mention a few ;) So i guess this is it for now, will try to blog more soon =D)) xoxo

So i've been gone for quite some time....

2010-04-03T19:50:00.006+08:00

As the title says it, i've been gone for quite a bit and now i'm back! yay!!!heheheeh... Well loads have been happening, firstly there was my birthday... i've turned 23 now... still very young and raw... presents... Kak mai treated all of us for dinner at Holiday Lodge, which i really appreciate, i got an air ticket to Singapore from my second sister, Kathleen, clothes from my eldest sister, Karen and a waffle maker from my third sister, Katherine and fiance Sharin. At work, we went for lunch at I-Lotus. it was from birthday funds with 3 celebrants, myself and 2 other colleagues. And then my really close friends, Wina, Serena, Siti Nora, Kak Mai surprised me with a cake, on their floor and all of the people in collections sang happy birthday to me. They caught me off guard. That day i was supposed to go back 3hrs early and they told me that they needed to discuss work with me. So when i came down, they played along and then my sweet friend, Wina came out of the pantry with a big chocolate cake and started singing and everyone at that section started singing!!! ~sigh~ That i must admit was a good surprise, they caught me so off guard that i was so shocked and i was shaking and i was so nervous... Good surprise though... they got me real good... hahahah =D))

Remember i was talking about that window of opportunity at work, well it did come around, i applied and then i was NOT shortlisted. Why? i have no freaking idea, well actually in my theory it's 2 things... 1. my former line manager does not want to work with me and 2. she's trying to save me from entering "hell". So yeah, am i upset? a bit. I somehow had the feeling after i applied that i would not get it and my instincts were dead on! i was not shortlisted. Why? it was because of the fact that among all the people who had applied, i actually had the background, experience and knowledge of that area. And yet i was not shortlisted. So yeah, i'm still where i am now and to add a more dreadful note on that, my colleague in my section whom i am close to Miss W is moving to another department! God! I won't have anyone to bitch about things now! ~sigh~ nonetheless, i am happy for her move as it could be a promotion for her in the future.

So on a better and interesting note, i was in Singapore for 8 days with my mum and sister Katherine because she has a course there for 3 weeks. I learned how to use the MRT with the help of the map and the signboards around the stations. We saved so much rather than using a taxi. Plus the most "expensive" trip i spent was $2.80 and if u return the ticket, u get $1 back! i actually did not see the sign at the counter about the tourist pass, i think it would have been cheaper or something. But it's ok, i managed pretty well for 8 days. I walked a lot, sweat a lot, shopped a lot and i got sunburnt too walking on the streets. I went to quite a number of places such as China Town, Little India, The Verge (it's a mall at Little India), Bugis, City Hall, Raffles, St Andrew's Cathedral, Vivo City, Jurong Point, Mustafa Centre, City Square Mall (it's an Eco Mall... i dunno what that means), Sim Lim Square, a bit of Singapore Botanical Gardens, National Orchid Garden and Universal Studios. I spent very little time around Orchard, i only went round Orchard at night with my sister and the maximum time we went out was around 3hrs or less. So yeah, that's what me and my mum did in 8 days. We also visited Yan, hubby and her babies, Eliza and Danial.

Now on with some pictures... i just posted 1/10 of what i took... i took about 600+++ pictures and have posted half on FB =D))

Breakfast at the Royal Plaza on Scotts. The breakfast buffet cost $38 (i think) w/0 gst and service charge. if u add that all together it was about $40++++

Street sign outside The Verge at Little India.

The back office of HSBC Claymore Branch. This was taken at the window of my sister's room.
Ham and Cheese sandwich with either coffee or tea at Toast Box in Jurong Point. This was breakfast for me and my mum that day.
China town. They were selling a lot of cheap stuff, if you like summer kind of clothing, come to this place.
This was a rock band rocking on the streets out side a mall. My sis and i were just walking around and then we heard music and we decided to watch them.

Eliza 1 1/2 years old

Baby Danial 2mths

St Andrew's Cathedral. Apparently in the 1800 it was struck by lightning twice.

Stained Glass Windows

This was somewhere around New York

Universal studios was fun, especially Shrek 4D and the in house Mummy ride... it was so cool. i had so much fun... So i guess this is it for now... will try to blog more soon =D)) XOXO

Condolences and the true story how my name was created!

2010-02-27T11:18:00.005+08:00

Hey all... Well a lot has been happening for these past few days. Firstly, My condolences to the Keasberry Family as they have lost a family member, Uncle Lionel Keasberry. May His soul rest in peace. Then there's an acquaintance, Mr Stanley Loo, i remember him as a very helpful and friendly man. And lastly, Dex Keasberry, his grandmother from his mother's side has also passed on. My condolences to all the families. God bless their souls and may they rest in peace. I feel that once you have experienced or seen how close death is to someone you love, you don't feel the hit as bad. If a person passes on so suddenly, i guess it will hit you hard. For me, when you see a person you love passes on, there is that void in your life. The sense that you feel lost that you don't know what to do. But we do have to remember that they are all passing on to a better place where there is no pain or suffering. And that they want us to move on as they will always be watching and guiding us when we really need it. =)

On a cheery note, there has been some big hu-ha at work about bonus and we have already receive our bonus... Am i any richer? Not really... Was it better than last year? A lil' bit... Am happy i did get it coz i need to pay some stuff off, you know with that new credit card regulation thing. So yeah, i have not splurge just yet... well i just bought a computer monitor for my sister's laptop so i can use it and resume my downloading and stuff. Plus i also need to buy my ticket to Australia in Nov/Dec, which will cost me $1.2k+++. The mos expensive thing i have ever spent on a ticket...

Ohhh... last night, i went to my cousin's house for dinner, it's just us family only and we all just sat down and talked a lot. In that talking, i found out how my name came out. My dad asked my cousin to help him name all us sisters an they came up with K's and since i was the last one to pop, my cousin, Tina had no idea what to name me... and she decided to find a name that started with K for me. Then in 1987, Cousin Tina got to know this little girl who she found to be very beautiful. And i do know this girl and she is really pretty now. This little girl was called Kelda. At that time my cousin was also a big fan of Kylie Minogue. She wanted to call me Kylie but she remember this little girl because her name was unique... so my cousin Tina decided to combine the both and she wrote on paper, KLYDER, to combine and change it up a little bit. She gave the paper to my dad and did not expect him to use the name and when i popped! There i was, KLYDER. hahahaha... funny but yet true story! After 22 years, i finally know how my name came about! LoL! And if you're wondering how to pronounce my name its KELDER. Because so many people have difficulties pronouncing my name, that is why i decided to address myself as KeL as it's easier to pronounce... teeheee... So this is it for now... gotta shower and get ready =)
Bubyez...

Tomorrow's Our 26th National Day! and Falling in LIKE...

2010-02-22T22:00:00.004+08:00

Hi All!!! As the title says it, tomorrow is National Day, for Brunei that is... Am i feeling patriotic? err not really... i've done my share of patriotism when i was younger... you know flag waving and stuff, plus i did march for the 24th National Day parade back in 2008 for the Brunei Association of Banks... We had to practice both day and night, just to march exactly like the police/army style... Not something i enjoy as i must say i have 2 left feet and i also have no rhythm! Lol! So dancing is also quite difficult for me... hahahah... lets not say dancing, trying to learn poco poco was difficult for me as well... hahahah... enough said.

So what are my plans for tomorrow... well there is lunch at excapade at 1, my eldest sister is treating... so yeah... after that i'm not too sure what i'll be doing... I'll probably get leggings again... I actually got a pair yesterday, quite surprised they fit me, so i want to get another just in case it runs out... This is usually my normal routine, if a pair of pants especially jeans which fit me well, i always buy 2 pairs because of several reasons 1. in case i wear 1 of em out and 2. i know i will never ever find another pair like them anytime soon.

Ohh... i also went to miri last saturday, to accompany one of my close friend... she just got out of an accident 2 days before and she wanted so badly to go to miri, so decided to just bring her. I'm also discovering the joys of twitter too... it seems cool.. hahahah

Falling in like... hmmm... this actually means something, it's like falling in love but you don't love the person, you just like em... i think this could be defined as an infatuation or a crush... Am i crushing on someone? Yes, i am! hehehe... don't think he has noticed me... Don't know why but yeah, although i don't see him that often , i dunno i just think i like him... would i make a move? Nah! For me, why bother... I like keeping my options open ;) Anywhoos, today i saw a hottie at work! haha! i have not seen this guy before so i would consider him fresh meat to the building... hahaha... well it happened like this, after i parked my car, shah just came and parked beside me. so we walked to the office together... we were hanging around downstairs because shah was smoking and we were talking about bonus and things like that. I dunno what possesed me to turn my head and there he was wearing blue and he was walking to his car to take his diary... and i think he smiled at either me or shah... and i was like "Shah, who's that?" He's like "New collector" and i went "He's cute!" *pauses and stare* "he's hot!" . i must admit i did ogle at him for a bit when he came back from his car... i so need to see this guy close up on Wednesday to really take a good look at him! hahaha =) i heard he has a long name too but Shah says it's a nice name, so i'm like ok cool... heheheh... i sound like a high school girl all over again! And oh... he's not the one i'm crushing on ya... i have to scrutinize this one... heheh ;P

Ok i guess this is it for tonight... will blog more soon =D))

Twitter and Mi Maggi Kari

2010-02-17T20:20:00.003+08:00

Hellew... Last night i went to Amie's house for CNY!!! I had fun!!! =D Alyaa, Siang and Daus were there too!!! Amie's parents and brother, Adam lit up some fire works for us so that was cool... it was like a short private show for us... and ooohhhhh.... amie's puppies are so cute and chubby!!!! So it was fun also because we made and "bullied" Daus to give a a private show with Adam's acoustic guitar. He claimed to be shy but when Adam whipped out his electric guitar, he wasn't shy anymore and it came to a point where the rest of us did not understand a word they were saying... guitar language.. hahaha...and what was funny was i managed to guess some of the songs he played on the guitar... i must admit, i don't recognize when people play Kings Of Leon's Use Somebody... that was what happened at Faizul's show... i did not know it was that song until he said it! Songs i managed to guess were 1. that thing you do 2. Broken by Amy Lee and Seether and lastly 3. Lifehouse - You and Me- of course this one with the help of Daus's singing... Let's just say music wise, i listen to a lot of songs, mostly songs that catches my ears, these three songs were once my favourite songs a couple of years back... I must say i do like songs from the 80s as well and this is because of my older sister, she likes them, get's me to download them and i start liking them... There was even once, one of my colleagues thought that i was born in the wrong year, i should have been born in the 70s so i could become a hippi in the 80s! LOL!

So as the title says Twitter... well, i actually have a twitter account since a while back and only started following people today, you can follow me, just type and search KeLRimpang... you would so find me.. the reason why i have a twitter account was because of eztv! hahaha... there came a point in time where their website was down and i was getting left behind on my weekly dose of downloading torrents of my favourite series... so they had twitter and that was my only other option... i don't fancy piratebay that much... so yeah i now have twitter... follow if you like =D

Mi Maggi Kari.. i just had this for dinner, i topped it off with a few slices of boiled sausages, an egg and baby clam in the can!!! yummy!!! i have not had this in a while... i LOVE baby clam in the can! heheheh... i guess this is for now! Bubyez!! =)

It's dead... kaputz...

2010-02-14T13:49:00.002+08:00

Hi all!!! Firstly happy chinese new year to everyone and also happy Valentine's day! May the year of the tiger bring in joy, wealth and happiness for all... May cupid strike you with his love arrow for that one person! As the title says it, it's dead. What's dead you might ask? My lovely red faithful dell inspirion who has served me for about 2 years! ~sigh~ i am still very heartbrokened about it... Nevertheless, my hard drive is still ok so i have not lost it all just yet... So for now, i will be laptop-less... for some reason, i just feel like a big chunk of me is gone... that was like my life... i know i sound like i'm exaggerating but that is how i feel at the moment... So i asked the technician at dell and they say to fix it it would cost more that $500!!! When i asked them, it's more worth it i buy a new one right? they just smiled at me ~sigh~ the HORROR!!! They then told me, well you can sell it to us but we won't pay out so much because we only need the internet card... i told them i'll think about it.. so now i'm living like a hermit, jumping from laptop to laptop... i can't wait till my bonus come out so i can start buying me another one... this time round i'm not getting a laptop, i'm getting a desktop to cater for my demanding needs =D

So long dear red dell, you have served me very well

xoxo,
KeL <3

A Band Once concert

2010-02-07T09:28:00.005+08:00

Good Morning All... before i get to the concert... i actually had made another success dessert!!!! yay.. it's called grasshopper mint pie!!!! yay!!! i'll post up pictures soon =D)). So i went to A Band Once concert... it was my first time watching them play live... I must admit Faizul, the lead singer is really good. Plus to me he sounds a bit like the lead singer from Sheila on 7 but of course he has his own style. I don't normally show up for gigs like this but this time i decided why not and faizul is actually my classmate in form 4&5, plus he always send out invites so i thought why not? it's free some more!!! =) we knew he loved singing and if i'm not wrong he even joined our school's talent time... When his song Te'a came out, I was surprised to hear it was him singing... Wow my friend made it! Kudos to you! And great job last night!

The stage at JP Mini Amphitheatre

I saw Azwan!!! and his friend Dayat... and eerrr... i don't know the other guy but yeah they sat in front of us =D))

Faizul in Action

This was the last song, where there was a mosh pit in front and ppl started jumping and it was craaazzzzyyyy but cool and fun =D))

What i loved about the gig was he did quite a good number of songs and one of my personal favs was Kings Of Leon's Use somebody... out of the whole gig, i actually recorded 6 videos on my phone! So i will be catching more gigs in time... A couple of words to sum up their gig, AWESOME, CRAZY and that is what you call PURE ENTERTAINMENT! =) In future, i'm planning on watching Epic Frequency as well, if they do have another gig becoz i actually missed out on their gig last Jan.

So that is it peeps! Bubyez <33

It's already february...

2010-02-06T13:52:00.002+08:00

Wow!!! It's already February... i can't believe it!!! January seemed to pass by like a breeze for me or i could have just been going with the flow...So January for me ended off quite well, my sister, katherine will be sent to Singapore for a 3wks course for teaching starting 21march-13apr. And guess what, i'm going to singapore on 21-28 march... that's 8 days with my mum. Katherine heard that they will be put up in the Royal Plaza on Scotts... classy and abit expensive hotel... so since katherine will be staying there for free... mum and i will be bunking in... I actually had no plans for going to singapore this year because i wanted to save for my Australia trip in nov/dec. And guess what, my other sister, kathleen has decided to pay for my singapore ticket as my birthday present!!!!!! OMG!!!! I feel happy and guilty at the same time because i did not get her a birthday present so while i'm in Singapore, i plan to get her a 4g ipod shuffle from the singapore website and get it engraved! and i also plan to get myself an itouch as well...

So i will be seeing sunny singapore soon =))

On another note, it's so funny how i have 2000+++ visitors on my blog and yet no followers... hahahah... i guess that's it for now... Bubyez <33

I'm on off day...

2010-01-28T11:05:00.003+08:00

Hi All... the title says it all... i'm on off day!!! yay... finally... hahahaha!!! Som i actually washed my car this morning by myself... 1st time me washing my car... hahaha... i just hope it does not rain... my other plan for today was to catch the consumer fair with Amie... the thing is i forgot today was govt payday... so i hope all this govt servants will only catch the fair after work.. hahaha.. i'll be bringing my camera along to take some cool pics =D

The picture below is a picture of my old boss... Ms LHL. Yesterday was her last day in my former department, she has moved on to be a branch manager... I wish her all the best in her new role... And i really thank her for giving me the opportunity to work with her team. She was the one who interviewed me and gave me that opportunity to work in the Bank. She gave me that yes! Good luck boss!

I think that is it for now... i'll be heading off soon =D)) bubyez!!!

2010-01-23T17:59:00.002+08:00

Hi All, it has been a lazy saturday... i did not go out because my mum and my aunty took my car out... There was nothing much on TV either... Luckily, some of the series i downloaded just finished so i decided to watch them... the wait for these series was long enough!!!! well it will be A long wait till the 2nd season of Glee.

Facebook status-es. This was something i saw early this week, a particular one from a 20 year old girl... For me, this 2 status of her was very disturbing... here goes, coming from a 20 year old...

"says, i fake having fun when i'm in bed with you, not because you're not good at it but it's because of your short dick and you don't know how touch a girl like me!"

"says, i don't do cigarrates but i do blow job. haha!"

For me, i would not put up status-es like this because, why the hell would you want the whole world to know what you are doing in your private life? If only her parent's have facebook, maybe she won't say such things...As a person who is around that age... you don't want people to know you're a slut... it make s you seem easy and cheap... No offence, but if she is reading this, dear girl it's not nice to put status-es like this... makes every guy want to get into your pants and tell all his friends to get some too.

Anywhoos... let's get on to other things i've been thinking about an ipod touch! b$468... hmmm~~~ maybe i'll get it in march... hmm~~~ i was actually playing with one of my friend's i phone and the games are so cool!!! she told me that you can play them on an ipod touch, hence i do want to get one... i was actually thinking abt it since last year but really decided to buy it... too bad i did not win this during the dinner's lucky draw! So yeah, the thinking and consideration goes on for now...

Oh yeah, i got some Utama Grand vouchers so i can go shopping for baking stuff tomorrow! yay! i'm gonna go on a baking frenzy =D i guess this is it for now.. xoxox

Rain~~

2010-01-17T11:48:00.004+08:00

Hi All... It has been raining for a couple of days now and it usually last the whole day. It makes me feel like time has not passed, it made me feel like it was december 08... The rain made me also think abt my dad a lot too... everytime i think or remember him, it brings me very close to tears. It's like it was just yesterday i was arguing with him abt small, not important, minimal things, but it's ok i know i can get through this... i know that there will be better and brighter days to come...

So last night i attended the bank's Annual Dinner, the theme was Le Masquerade Carnival. I did not get a mask, instead i wore HUGE heart-shaped glasses, which the people on my table loved... hahahah... i've got no silly pictures of myself to show... so yeah, i leave it to the imagination =), i would normally stay on for the after party, to dance and go crazy with friends for a bit but i decided not to this year because, my shoe was really hurting me!!! and i bought it the night before.. i did not have enough time to "break" into my shoes. Overall, i had great fun because our MC was that drag queen from Malaysia, Didi i think. So much fun and a whole load of adult humor!!! what i would mean by adult humor meaning, every statement he makes is associated with sex, hooking up and things like that... even the simplest of statements, sounds like it's dirty... all i can say is I LIKE!!!! hahahahaha =D)) Oh yeah, that ticket up there won me a lucky draw prize!!!! i came to the dinner with no expectations of winning, just hopes that if i do win, i hope i get that 42 inch Samsung LCD tv... but i got a phone instead... well better than nothing right? =))

One of the decos for the night, fake pillars with fake candles

This is when the senior management came in to present them selves... i just simply snapped this shot =)

My lucky draw prize... it's a Sony Erricson W508... don't really know what i will do with it so yeah... in the market it costs $285... so i guess it is something... i don't think i'll sell it because it's the first time i have won a lucky draw... so it's a keeper ;)

That's me... born in the year of the Rabbit =D)) i think this is it for now... will blog more soon... xoxo KeL

Serenity

2010-01-08T23:57:00.004+08:00

Hey All!!! A very quick update... it's like I've been blogging nearly every day... hahahah... Anyways while i was at work today, i decided to clean out one of my portable drawers... you know the ones you buy off a supermarket and store all your little knic knacs it it. So i was properly disposing "confidential" small strips of paper away and i came a cross a paper with these sentences scribbled on them "Have the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed. The courage to change things that should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish one from another". I thought it was a very interesting quote and then decided to google it so i can find out more like who said it and all... and i found out that it was a prayer written a loooonggggg time ago. I decided to post the whole prayer up, just in case you want to read on how it ends =)

~ The Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr~

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen

I'm going to sign off now... going to sleep... don't actually know what i'll do tomorrow... maybe i'll sleep ;) hahahah... bubyez!

A new start to the new year

2010-01-05T22:29:00.005+08:00

Hey all! Well, today i decided to make some time to blog =D so work has been a bit hectic for the past 2 days. But i don't want to be a bore and talk about work! Let's start with Saturday, i chopped off my pretty coloured hair... why i did it? I'm really not too sure... i just felt like was was getting irritated and kusut with my hair... So when i went to one of my hairdresser in Gadong, i said to him "I want you to chop off my hair!" My hairdresser folds his arm looks at me shocked and said "Are you for real?" and when i said yes, he looks at my sister and said "Is she for real?" well... he got the same answer...hehehe... in the end he did cut my hair at mid length and if i have wanted it shorter, i think he would have just refused me... hahaha.. Mind you, my other hairdresser in bandar, once asked me 5 times before she chopped off my hair...

Enough said about hair, i had a fun weekend, i went on a picnic with my sister and some good friends... i have made friends with a few of Amie's friends. They're cool people, although i have only joined them for 2 outings, i like hanging with them... To be honest, it feels good and fun to talk and hang out with people who around my age. In the department that i work in, i am the youngest in my team and the 2nd youngest is maybe around 26 or so. Most of the people i know at work are either older or married or both! so yeah i find it fun to mingle in a crowd that is around my age =D. Not that older people are not cool, they are... it's just that sense of being with people who you can talk to, relate to and be crazy and silly with without being called funny or weird... hahahaha... Plus i don't have much friends at work who are around my age... so this is something that i can call my own =D

Back to the picnic, i got sun burnt and charred! hahahah... We were catching small crabs and it was fun =D We caught a cray fish but that got eaten up by the other crabs. Here are some pictures =)

Chicken!

The scenery in the morning... so pretty right?

Earlier tonight, i was blog hopping and i came across a blog that i felt was very interesting, the blogger did not blog so much but what he wrote was quite deep. You can see how he appreciates life and everything that he has plus how he is single and will wait for the right one to come along. Kudos to you! I'm kinda in that same boat but i'm neither waiting or anticipating, i'm just not interested. Maybe i have not met someone who strikes my interest yet =) I also found this quote on that blog, i don't know if he made it up or copied it somewhere, but i think i am at this point now. I'm still searching and hopefully i will find what i'm searching for. ;)

I've learned-
that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I guess this is it for now, i'll blog more soon plus my sis is getting suspicious of what i'm writing in my blog... why? i'm not too sure why though... afterall these are just my random ramblings right? hehehe... Bubyez! <33>

Happy New Year 2010!

2010-01-01T21:33:00.005+08:00

Hi All... Happy New Year 2010... The other day i was blog hopping and i came on a blog post from one of my friends... He said this is usually the one day where we take time to reflect on what has happened for the past year. Personally, my memories are mostly kept in my head while my friend has his mostly on his blog... I must admit that i do not blog as much as i used to... For me 2009 was a lot of searching and it still is... After my dad's passing, a very close friend of mine who is also a clairvoyant told me that i'm still very unsure of what i want in life, i'm not lost, i just don't know what i want but if i see something i want, i will somehow go my way to get it. 2009 was a year that i personally felt that was quite difficult for me... there were ups, downs and a lot of rough patches. But if you asked me if there was anything i wanted to change i would say no because from all of it, i learnt a thing or two about life, mostly the hard way. 2009 also presented a lot of opportunities for me, a new role in the workplace, the meeting of new people and a chance to improve and prove myself that i am not what people think i am. The biggest thing that happened in 2009 is the passing of my dad, not a day goes by that i don't think of him and feel like breaking down at some point. Although i was not close to my dad, i do sometimes feel his presence.

For 2010, i will be just fine, i am strong enough to carry on. Honestly, i do not have any resolution for 2010 because i know that the year will have a lot of uncertainties and unexpected, so i will just go with the flow. To say that i already have my mind set is a lie, I still do not know what i want in life and i will continue searching for it. Closing in on the 23 years old mark in a couple of months time, i know i still have time to figure out what i want. My hopes is that 2010 will bring me good health, better luck, more wealth, great opportunities and maybe a love interest =)

So those of you readers out there who actually read my blog, i wish you a happy 2010! May you have a good year and live your life with no regrets! Seize every opportunity you have and don't let it go. Do your thing and don't care what people think. Lastly let's also hope that the economy will also be good to us too =D. Happy 2010!

xoxo

Hiatus...

2009-11-29T13:09:00.001+08:00

I've disappeared for quite a while now and i will still till further notice... hopefully i'll get some time off one of these days =D

Bags and cookies in a Sunday Morning

2009-09-20T09:51:00.002+08:00

Hi All... i know that this is a quick update.... well i was up early, my sis asked me if i wanted to go to church today but i decided to skip and do something else. I actually wanted to do my laundry but it's all cloudy and i don't see the point. Anywhoos, i still have extra energy to burn so i decided to bake cookies. i actually bought a batter mix where you just add an egg and some butter to it and i actually had a minor accident.... hahahahah.... i was trying to open the packet and instead of using a scissors like a civilized person, i decided to open it with with my hands and i did loose a bit of the batter... hahahahah... all was good my cookies turned out ok... i just forgot to add in chocolate chips in them... Good attempt without help this time. =D

And did i ever mention that i have a weakness for bags... yes i cannot resist bags... especially hot ones. I've been buying bags from Amelie Accessories (click to check out her site)For her site new items are usually updated on the Picasa Web albums. These are some of the bags i ordered 2 mths ago... it actually came early but both Amelie and i were a bit busy with our own thing that we could not meet up. I know it's crazy but i am unable to find bags in this style here. I got one, last year when i was in Spore from Perllini and it is a bit small but very cool overall. This version from amelie is different, it's bigger and it zips up. My bag from SG does not zip but it closes by the magnets near the handles of the bag... complicated to explain here. Since i could not resist, i bought the same bag in 3 colours!!! Each cost $28, which i find to be quite cheap for its size =D

This pink one, is very interesting up close... the colour is a bit different

White

And black!!!! you cannot not get black coz black goes with anything =D

The interior of the bag... quite big ya? So i dunno what i will be doing today... i still want to find cookie cutters... i think i am entering that baking phase... hahahaha... crazy much... Will update soon again... Bubyez... xoxo KeL <3

I've been baking lately... =D

2009-09-19T21:33:00.002+08:00

Hellew all... well i have been baking/making things lately.... There are some days where i feel that i have extra energy to burn off so i tried to do something useful... to make something from scratch... hehehehhe

Here are my doggie cookies.... hahahah they look funny and were of different sizes. the whole batch was supposed to produce 48 cookies but i ended up with less then 20 i think..... hahahahah... never the less, i will try this one again =D

The above is called Doggie Cookies, this lady had two versions of it; one horlicks and one milo. Click here to check it out... she has plenty of cool recipes. look how pretty her ones look

This dessert is a failed one... hahahah.... not very successful... it was supposed to be a Oreo Dirt Pudding and it did not turn out right.... this one i will NEVER attempt again.... hahahahah.... i'll just stick to my usual peaches and cream ;D

And this one.... Choco Cornflakes.... i had an order for this way back in June from my kakak angkat Di Wi... hahahah... only 2 weeks before puasa ended i decided to reconfirm how may pieces she wanted and she told me 400 pcs!!! So i only made one batch earlier this week and the rest yesterday afternoon... it is tiring!!! And guess what i have 2 more orders from 2 other people... Well i was out just now and i wanted to buy some cookie cutters, there was one in particular that i saw from Giant a few weeks ago and it was shaped like the playboy bunny logo. Sadly, i could not find it today =( Anywhoos i think i will be baking or making something within the 2 days holidays.... yay!!! that is it for now... will update soon... <3 xoxo

Spa, food and understanding

2009-08-31T20:48:00.002+08:00

More pics and info here

So that's a picture of Thann Spa at Kiulap, it's opposite Jungle Gym. Well on saturday, i decided to use my $50 bday voucher from my colleagues.... yes... the voucher has been with me since March and it was a good thing that it expires in 6 months... i still had a couple more days before it reached 6 mths =D. I was at Le Taj on Friday night for a sungkai dinner with Rosie, Azre, Rai and Sabeeq. That was when i took the opportunity to book a massage for myself before i put the voucher to waste. I'm not a really big fan of Indian food but LeTaj's sungkai buffet was $14.80 and the food was not too bad. They had quite a good range and i love the setting over there. I had a fun night laughing with them, esp sabeeq... He is one crazy dude.

Back to Thann spa... i did not want to do a full body massage because i was afraid of the pain so instead i opted for 2 treatments that cost $25 each. The first one was the back, neck & shoulder massage for 30mins and the other was the foot reflexology for 30mins. The setting of the spa is really beautiful. I was led to the room inside and they place you on sofa chairs, it was dim with soothing instrumental music playing in the background. The back, neck & shoulder massage was really good, i felt. They asked you if the pressure is alright. They also got me to soak my feet because i was going to do a foot reflexology. Then it was time for my foot reflexology, i had the choice of to either sit up and watch or lay down. Well i decided to lay down... and i fell in and out of sleep. I could even hear myself snoring... that was how relaxed i felt! The foot reflexology did hurt at some point but it did not hurt that long so yeah... it was a good massage day =D

Puasa... hmm... a good time to gain weight you know... Last week itself i went out 3 nights in a row to sungkai with friends and then there was a lil cuz bday on sunday. Wednesday, i went to ILotus with my friends from the Credit Admin team... for $16.80 it is worth your money!!! so much range to choose from and they have the grill section. The grill section is where you pick out lamb or various seafood and they will grill/panggang it for you and deliver it to your table. Again, i'm not much of a seafood fan but they had lots of other food for non seafood lovers like me. There was rice, noodles and i think over 5 types of dishes to go with it. Then there was the cucurs and all the fried food like sausages and fishballs or chicken balls. Yum!!!! I'm headed back there this thursday =D. Then thursday the next day, i went to Fratini's in Sg Tilong. It was a last minute plan for me to join my Credit Admin colleagues. The promotion - 50% off pizza and pastas before 7p.m. Fratini's is a bit pricey, but when there is promotions like this, you sure would not want to miss it!. I had fun, eating pasta and pizza. The pasta i ordered came in a really big portion and i was full, plus i had 4 slices of pizza... yeah... i really do pig out XP. Then Friday was at Le Taj! Le Taj also did serve ice cream and a bit of pasta and pizza... not too bad too.

Saturday night, i had a cousin who is here for a bit before she goes back to Germany. Our other cousins decided to celebrate her son's 2nd bday so there was plenty of food!!! I had the taufu-fah and some chicken soup... I did not pig out this time bcoz, i ate a lil bit before we came there. There was also fried popiah with banana as a filling... weird but tasty becoz the banana was sweet. As usual, the aunties went a bit wild and dirty... hahahah... For those of you who really know me, then you know how dirty i am... well, it runs in the family! Then Sunday... ahhh... i went to church because i decided to save a life by donating some of my blood. I finally found the kain i was looking for. Then i to a short nap before going to KB. What's in KB?!? FOOD!!!! AHAHAHAH.... I revolve around food ya =). Sharin, future-bro-in-law, has a stall there with his friends. We went bcoz my sister, katherine wanted to buy food from the darling. Across Sharin's stall was the Abu stall, they sell the best roti telur and roti ayam ever!!!!! Yummy!!!! This time round i decided to buy the roti ayam. The roti telur was $1.00 and the roti ayam was $2.50! well worth my money. I also bought Sri Kandi's chicken kebab... yummy but i prefered if they would strip all the chicken off their skin.

So there you have it... my food adventures... will update if i have tride new places. =D
Plus... it will soon be 100 days that our dad has left us. I still do think of him a lot and i do feel his presence at times. As usual, life has to go on and we have to move on but his memories will live in us always. xoxo, KeL

*i have never understood why you were so proud of me, now that i know why, i still don't understand it. One day i will be able to understand it... but not now. i still have so many answers to look for*

A blooming tree in the background

2009-08-14T21:04:00.003+08:00

Hellew all... so i have been very busy lately... I have now moved to my new department, i must admit i was overwhelmed at first, i'm now trying to get the hang of it... i just to remember the steps of how to do things... My last few weeks before i left for my new department was hell as usual. I had so many things to do and yet there was still so much that was pilling up on the side. I tried to finish as much as i could. Then i went on a short trip to KK and it was fun... I was sick when i was there... There was plenty of eating but there was a point where i could not eat because i felt really bad. Other than that, i did get panicky when i went to Centerpoint because there was so many people and they were literally body to body. I don't know how i did it in Singapore. I did not shop till i drop there because they did not have the particular stores that i wanted. I did have fun going everywhere and guess what? i just booked my ticket to KK in December for the weekend. Cheap fares though $59 return! And as usual, nothing beats Singapore! =)

If you are wondering about the picture above, well its a tree far away from my back garden. It actually caught my sister's attention and she took a picture of it. Me being a very curious person myself, i decided to take a picture so there it is. We have never seen any of the tress back there bloom so we found it quite strange.

Other interesting things that happened today, I got my half yearly rating and i got a 3 Strong! Yay!!! i actually felt like i did not accomplish what was set for me, because i had so much work pilling from everwhere... The good thing was, i did entertain internal customers and i go all the way to help them. That was actually not part of my job scope but since i did it was recognized by my line manager in the other department =D well dealing with internal customers was a good experience for me because i made a whole lot of new friends and aquintances plus i know who i can ask favours from now.... heheheheh... Then we had late breakfast around 9+++a.m. The food was great, noodles, chicken curry, fried chicken, sandwiches and a whole lot more, i made my dessert, peaches and cream. I had trouble making it because i could not find nestle cream so i had to find a substitute for it which was Paul's Thickened Cream Light. It only had 6 hours to sit in the fridge and the cream was still a bit watery, it did not freeze a bit. Overall, they all loved it... which was quite goo and i was very surprised to see that, they only left 1/10 in the container.

The week went pretty fast for me which is good, i hope to have a good sleep in tomorrow. Sleep for me now has never felt like what it use to... i feel more refreshed when i wake up everyday, it was nothing like what i used to have so yeah maybe it's because of less work worries and stress... hehehe... well, i'll try to update more often but hey no promises on that... =P Bubyez... xoxo

Happenings....

2009-07-03T19:45:00.002+08:00

Hellew All, finally i have made time to blog. A lot has happened since my last post, i'm still really jammed packed at work with so many things to do and work related activities going on. I'm slowly clearing all of my work, things are just piling up like there is no tomorrow. First of all, i now understand why my friend told me "Don't disappoint me, make me proud ok". It has something to do with what someone said to "my soon to be line manager". When "my soon to be line manager" told her staff that i would be joining her, the person said "Liat, geng siapa" and "my soon to be line manager" got bangang. It was not only "my soon to be line manager" decision but also the assistant manager's. I was a little bit upset because I can't believe that this person judged me by who I make friends with. They just really don't know me. I worked hard to be where i am and i can't help it if the door of opportunities open for me. I will prove that person wrong.

Moving on to another geram hati event, during Banker's half closing day, I got shot down, chewed up and spat out! A fellow colleague compared me to my peer colleagues and felt that i was not doing much. My work may not be a lot BUT VOLUME WISE!!!!!!! It's an easy task but if you get bombarded with documents by the truckload every week for several month, and you can tell me you can finish everything within that period, be my guest. Try it!!! Try being in my shoes, they think they can do it... This made me more upset and angrier. My job scope and my peer colleagues are different, the line of work is all so different. No one said anything to defend me. I must admit, i was taken aback but then i realised to argue would be a waste of my time because i'm leaving them. THANK GOD!!!!

Other things, i watched transformers twice. I'm going on a short trip in 2 weeks time, i hope that goes well, then it will be to my new role... So many things to do and yet so little time...

~ As long as my head's in the right place, my feet are on the ground, i think i'll be fine~

A turn in life

2009-06-11T10:53:00.002+08:00

Hellew all, i decided to post up this random picture, it's a lotus flower and the words below it is in japanese pronounced kouf-ku which means happiness. This was supposed to be my tattoo that i was supposed to get when i went to S'pore last March, but some things happened and i did not go through with it. I will still get it, not so soon but most probably in the future. It has been 15days since my dad has passed, my sis and i went to visit his grave after my interview yesterday. I can tell you, i'm coping really well with it. My heart does not feel heavy now compared to what i felt a few hours before he passed. I have said everything i needed to say before he left. Honestly, i can tell you that i'm not as close to my dad as my other sister is but we did have our moments, aggreements and disagreements. He always gets worried when i decide to drive on my own... heheheheh... Parents will be parents ya. =D I feel that it was his time, at least he is not hurting anymore.And as usual, life has to go on. R.I.P Daddy, we will always love you <3

Updates on what has been happening...I'm actually still on leave and will only be back at work starting Monday. I went to the office yesterday for an internal vacancy interview for another department. I was a bit nervous the day before because have applied for 2 other vacancies before this and i did not get the first one and the other position was being put on hold at the moment. The interview went very well and you know what? An hour or two after the interview, my line manager sms-ed me to tell me that i should call the HR personnel. And yeah, I GOT IT!!!!! I was very surprised and happy because things like this normally take a longer time. So i was surprised that the response was very fast. The reason why i applied for this new job in the first place was because i am tired with my current job and there is no prospects of me moving up the career ladder. This new job will be something new and interesting. I'm also scared at the same time... but it's ok, life is always full of surprises, it all depends on how you take and react to each situation. ;)

I think a very close friend of mine helped me, because she just kept nagging me to apply. I wanted to apply when the advert came out but things happened so quickly that i had to take emergency leave, then the vacancy's deadline was extended and i applied whilst on leave. So yeah, it could be my luck and the help of some close friends of mine. My friend also told me and i quote "Don't disappoint me, make me proud ok". My friend, i WILL make you proud and i will prove myself to everyone. I will make sure that i will give my all and that they won't regret taking me in.... Ahhhhh... I'm in bliss.... New directions and new beginnings. Maybe things are looking my way now. I don't exactly know when i will start this new role, i guess it's most probably after they find a replacement for me. I will make sure that i clear everything i have pending now, even if it means coming to work on Saturdays, i will do it... I won't even claim OT for it... hehhehehe... yes that is how happy and semangat i am now =D I guess this is it for now.. will update soon =D bubyez <33

Updates~~~

2009-05-14T19:17:00.002+08:00

Hellew all, it's been nearly a month since my last post... Nothing interesting has been happening... Work as usual is crazy as ever, somedays you just feel like jumping out the window but then when i think about it, is it worth it? oh well, i will get through this. I can't wait till next week because my friends and i are going to have a hen's night for our friend who is getting married at the end of this month... Preparations are going ok, i still have yet to buy some booze, nothing too heavy just some light stuff... It's going to be a fun night... hahahahah... I think this one night of partying will do me some good... i'll update you all after the party... bubyez for now =D

At the brink of insanity!!!

2009-04-18T13:13:00.002+08:00

Hellew all, work this week has been really crazy. Crazy sh*t has been happening and work is piling up like there is no tomorrow. I really don't know how i get through things like these, let alone work. I just realize, how the hell was i able to withstand doing everything that i do? i think i need to move out, and get away from those neverending paperwork!!!! All jobs i know have paperwork, but this one, its forever paperwork! Some days i feel like I'm so close to jumping out a window. Anywhoos, forget that... you know what was the craziest thing that happened to me this week? I nearly LOST my purse and my phone!!! And how this happened, i had a rough day at work on Tuesday and then my sis and i decided to eat at Ideal in Gadong, and as we left, i told my sis i carry the drink that we tapau-ed while she carried the food and we walked out and drove home. I only realised it when we were getting out of the car at home!!! And that is like 20mins to 30mins drive from Gadong. My sis panicked, i panicked like hell, because i would have to make a police report, then there are my atm and credit cards, my i.c. and every other important card there is. SH*T!!!! But Thank God, we actually brought home the receipt and we called the restaurant and i was very lucky that both my phone and purse was still there. I don't normally forget my things, but that day everything just seem to go out the window!

On a lighter note, i was "introduced" to a RnB singer, Stevie Hoang. His famous hit Addicted is a really cool one. I just downloaded his album, i have not got the chance to really listen to his songs but judgung from the songs i have heard, he's a good one. He's got several websites, but if you want to listen to what he's got you can click here. For more info and pictures you can try this and here.

I thank God its the weekend!

Book Making Class

2009-04-05T22:41:00.003+08:00

Hellew all. Today my sister gave me my birthday gift and it was a book making session where i learned the correct and proper way to make books. It was a very interesting and enjoyable time for me. I would recommend it to people who likes to do arts and craft. A session which is about 3 to 4 hours cost $75, including a book making kit which you get to choose (this kit comes with the papers, cardboards, and all essentials you need for book making basics), all stationaries provided and refreshments. You also learn how to handle a drill as well. So its pretty cool. In the end you not only get a book but you know how to make a book. So here are some pics of the class.

The Dream Book

More books

My Final Product

Our class

This is the card of the person who runs the whole bookmaking session. Its a bit blur, yes but if you would like to know more about Rozi and what she does, you can click here. You will schedules of her upcoming classes and also galleries of her already made books and also photo albums for some of her clients. Its a very interesting class and i will tell you that you would not realize that time really flies. i guess that it is for now... Bubyez =D))

Back from Hiatus!

2009-03-31T12:39:00.004+08:00

Hellew all!!!! i know i have disappeared for quite a bit, so i shall try to sum up everything that has happened. i won't be posting up much pics because i'm lazy =P. So, food wise, i have been eating a lot. i had a taste at deer meat cooked with spring onion(i think) during Jade's farewell dinner, let's just say it is an acquired taste. It was not my cup of tea and to me it tasted a bit funny. Then there was Korean food at a colleague's fiance shop... at first i hesistated but then i decided to be adventurous. Since it was a new shop and it was my first go at korean food, it was also not my cup of tea... maybe its the food... Fret not ppl, i will try korean food again at a different location in the near future. Then on my Singapore Trip, i had Chilli Crab. Hmmm again, it was ok but a big hassle when you have to dig out the meat. Our host for dinner said that it was very interesting to watch me eat crab... hahahah... yes i'm a bit fussy, i know. Then work wise, am swamped with plenty of work, this happened a few days before i went on my trip... was dumped a HUGGGEEEEE pile... ~sigh~~ i hate documentation! wish i can burn them all. I will be facing work head on tomorrow!

Okie... now a bit of other things, i was "surprised" by my colleagues on my bday with a cake, breakfast for everyone and a Thann spa voucher which i have yet to make use of. Why i said "surprise" was because, i knew it was coming and how did i know? My colleagues hid the cake in the safe where i work and where everyone and myself could see it. hmm~~~ i don't blame them, i think that was the hardest they tried... but not discreet enough though XP. i really did enjoy myself that day because some people on the other floor sang to me. Thanks everyone for the greetings and the singing, i really appreciate it =D)) Then we had dinner with Kak Mai at Swenson's, thanks for the treat Kak Mai!!!! It's banana splits all the way!*wink wink* ;D

Then there was HM's visit to the BPC office. i nearly had the perfect picture because he was looking my way when a tall colleague of mine had to step in front of me! Some days i really hate being short!
Lastly, to end March with a bang was my trip to Singapore, i met a lot of people, some new and some familliar. I really enjoyed myself, although i may have been a bit quiet on some days, to be honest i had good fun. It was good that we met up with our counterparts from the HSBC Singapore, just did some talking, catching up, exchanging life cultures and our lines of work in HSBC. Oh yeah, i also caught the flu and cough from kat when we were there. I enjoyed walking untill my feet are about to fall off and people watching... let's just say, i saw a lot of running ladies... heheheheh =D)) In a nutshell, Singapore, Good times and memories!

That's me eating breakfast at Burger King and trying to look like a tourist! LOL!!!! I guess this is it for now, gotta go and see the doctor! I am thankful that i did not get any asthma attacks whilst on this trip.

Hidden meaning of your name

2009-02-18T20:14:00.002+08:00

Hey all, well today was an ok day for me... nothing much going on except that HM is going to be visiting Jerudong Branch and BPC tomorrow!!! Finally, a moment we have all been anticipating. I hope to be getting good close up pics of him. I also can't wait for the National Day holiday on Monday!!! Wooo Hooooo.... long weekend =D)) Oh below is a link i got on Bob's blog and this is what my name means. If you want to check it out click here. i guess this is it for today... bubyez <3

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

You Are Smart and Curious

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row.
You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace.
People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

It's a Bangkok Love Story

2009-02-16T22:25:00.002+08:00

Hellew All... A very fast update. I actually drove to work alone today... i tell you, i think there is at least one crazy driver out there and there is also a certain car that is out to get you... one tried to run me over at a bend when i was on my way to work! Anyways... you are probably wondering about the picture above and the title of this blog. You see, i watched this movie last night. Its about a hitman who, i think, falls in love with his target, who is a gay man in denial married to a woman. What possesed me to buy this movie? I have no idea, i had this image in my head that it would be a happy and flowery movie but it was the complete opposite. It's got people who has aids, male prostitution, killings and yeah... grown well built men kissing and rolling on the groung at it. It was not what i expected but it was a good movie, it had a good storyline and i think i does reflect a little bit of some of the people lives in Thailand. So it does give an insight of how gay people are... they are just like normal people just in love with the same sex person.

Well tomorrow, i will be eating again. This time at CDP Curry House... i'll try to get some pics to post... so i guess that's it for this post... bubyez <3

Happy Valentine's Day <3

2009-02-14T21:42:00.011+08:00

Hellew all!!!! Happy Valentine's Day... as for myself, i have no valentine this year... but hey its ok, it fun being free and single =D)) Anywhoos, i'm posting up a pic from CNY at the office and sushi with the colleagues. Plus, pics i snapped when i went to the RTB convention at ICC yesterday night and i managed to catch the dance show... interesting, i just saw the last few acts... not bad, great foot work! I also saw 2 familiar faces at the convention, Bob, a good friend of mine and Amelie... this lady sells jewellry accesories through her blog, Amelie Accesories, you can check it out at my Out 'n' About section. I have bought some of her products and its not too bad, i think she's also having a promotion till the end of Feb where you if purchase 2 items and above, you get a 20% discount! So enough with the blabbing and on with the pictures! =D))

Memories....

2009-02-10T20:16:00.003+08:00

It's been a while since i've updated my blog. Well last week, i saw a lion dance at work, ate sushi with colleagues and then i got sick and was MC on friday. My first MC for this year. Then on saturday, i just slept mostly during the day, then picked up my aunty and Sunday, i went out with Mas and Amie. One of my friends, he uploaded old class photos of our primary and secondary years on facebook... and it was both on my part embarrassing and funny... it makes you wonder what ever happened to all the other ppl that you don't keep in touch with. Some of us still look the same, some different, some married while others either single or attached. They were really good memories, i can honestly say that i really enjoyed and had loads of fun in my secondary 4-5 years... actually, it was one of the best times of my life... i missed those times =D))

Anywhoos... today we had a meeting at work. Yesterday, i had strong feelings that i was going to get shot down at this meeting. The meeting actually started at 4 but my officer and i only stepped in at 5. I thank god my officer only made me go in with her... i was so afraid of getting shot down because, i had no idea how i would react if it were to happen; i had two reactions in my head, 1. burst out in anger or 2. shut up, listen and keep to myself. My officer was there to fend for me if the occasion arises. The meeting turned out good, there were very good suggestion raised and yeah, i did not get shot down... hehehheeh... yes, i over reactede a lil'.... hehhehehe XP. Oh yeah... i'm too lazy to post up pics, maybe another day... bubyez <33

I drove alone today

2009-02-02T18:48:00.002+08:00

Hellew.... Driving was ok today, except for that stupid kijang!!! hahahah... i had to brave through flood waters this morning and i had to park! My first time attempt at parking without any guidance... hahahahh... Driving back on the highway was ok and i finally managed to overcome my hill... hahahah... we will see how far this will go =D... hehheheheh I DROVE ALONE TODAY!!!!!! =D)) it's an accomplishment XP

How to be an extraordinary worker?

2009-01-31T21:15:00.005+08:00

Hellew all.... i've had a crazy week at work, things at home are a bit sh*ty. Other than that all is good. Well, i got my TPM rating for 2008, this is when my line manager reviews & rates my performance at work for 2008 and this will determine how my bonus will be. i got an ok good rating and my line manager told me that i need to learn some new stuff this year which i could not last year. She also told me that i would have gotten a higher rating if i had learn that thing i was suppose to learn when i joined in the 3rd quarter of 2007. So for me to acheive that higher rating this year, i would have to be extraordinary at work. I repeat; E-X-T-R-A-O-R-D-I-N-A-R-Y... how the hell am i going to be an extraordinary worker? ok, i'm a bit blur so i googled it... i mean who knows right, someone might have put out a manual for dummies to be an extraordinary worker... hahahahh... sad to say i did not find the results i wanted, so if you know how to be an extraordinary worker, apart from taking on more tasks and responsibilities, please share with me... =D))

The were good comments, very encouraging and my manager's comments kept me grinning for at least a couple of hours at work because i want to really know what she meant when she wrote it. so here are the comments for u to judge. oh yeah, the comments are quoted word per word =P

"She has demonstrated a positive attitude. Well done and continue to support the challenging initiatives for 2009" - my line manager's comments

"Kel, you have always been cheerful & positive character which is your strength. You have coloured our team by your creative contributions, which we owe a big "Thank You" to. Blah Blah Blah (this part is work related). Great work in 2008!" - my manager's comments. In this context i am really curious as to how i coloured the team... Hmm~~ what do u think?

So yes, bonus... these comments affects the bonus. i got a good ok rating so i might get more than last year, hopefully, the bank was not making much muuunnnnney last year... so we are just anticipating. They keep telling us, it won't be as much as last year. To me something is better than nothing. hehehehhe... Anyways, i have planned to do something when i'm in S'pore. I actually hope i do go with it and i think i am prepared to do it... What is it u ask? Some may know, most may not. For now we will keep it a hush hush thing till it pops out in late March/early April. =D))

I went for a fish spa also, its about $15 for 30 mins. To me it made not much difference to my feet so i would probably have to go more often. I'm too lazy to post up pictures... heheheh =P After fish spa, i went for CNY house visiting, i only went to Amie's house... just hanged out for a bit and then we went to KTM to eat and then home. But then we went out so that i could pay some bills and to test my driving skills!!! I finally drove down my hill, i have yet to drive up it hehehhe and you know what?!? tomorrow will be my first time on the road without supervision!!! i have mixed feelings about this, and we will see what will happen tomorrow =D)) wish me luck ok! Bubyez!!!

"As long as I know my head's in the right place, my feet are on the ground, I think I'll be fine. "

Happy Chinese New Year

2009-01-26T19:11:00.002+08:00

Hellew all....Happy Chinese New Year... It has been a long weekend for me and i don't want to go back to work tomorrow ~sigh~. Anywhoos, i went out yesterday... Since the electricity in Gadong was back, my sis and i decided to go round2 there. I also had McDonalds, nothing beats a good double cheese burger, but then, nothing beats that ham and beef burger from Burger King!!!! Ohhhh.... i can't wait to go to Singapore in March... still a very long way to go. Today i did some house visiting, went to my cousin's house. i got a couple of oranges. Actually, i can't wait for the CNY celebration at work, i hope they do have one!!! i want the lion to "clean" my table... =D)) i guess that is it from me today... nothing much seems to be happening. bubyez <33

Hellew all.... First of all, Happy New Year to everyone.... i've had a very busy 2 weeks starting into the year... Anyways, i went to our staff annual dinner party and it was ok... i did not dress up because it's a one off event and to dress up would mean that i would have to make a costume which i would never use until there is another event like this. I had fun dancing till 11.30++, the music got a lil bit too boring so Siti Nora and i decided to leave... Now, pictures that i promised, the annual dinner and the xmas gifts i bought for myself =D))... Enjoy =D))

Hellew all!!!! I hope you’ve all had a good holiday and long weekend. My holiday was cool… We had a Christmas open house and not many of the people I invited came… to be exact only 7 out of the 50 people I invited came… very sad eh? Well, i guess some of them had errands to run or are away for the very long weekend. Amie made it… she actually found her way with the map I sent =D)). She actually came with Lionel and a new car!!! Hahahah… it was very good to see Lionel again. The only thing that has changed with him is his hair; it has grown quite a bit other than that, he is still very much in love with Amie… awwww… lovebirds <33 style=""> it was quite a pity I forgot to take a picture with them… there is always a next time right? =))This year, I think not much people came… it was quite slow in the afternoon but when it came to around dinner time… people were on a roll… coming in and out. This was when the house was quite busy. I actually hid in my sister’s room to facebook and check on my downloads. Anywhoos… I will be posting up pictures of the Christmas gifts I got so far this year from other people… I’ll post up things I spoiled myself for Christmas this year and also some other activities and events that I will be attending before the year closes for a wrap in another post next week I hope… so enjoy =D))

Hellew all....Plenty have been happening at work and i am very close to jumping out of a window... hahahhaha... that is how stressed i am... it's ok this will pass me... Oh yes, i will be attending a colleagues' wedding tomorrow night. I'll try to get some pictures to post up. hmmm~~~ why did i post up pictures of these two boys? well as you can see they are gay and they are or was the most famous gay couple in Beijing. Why i said was? well i did read somewhere that the just broke up recently or something like that. I actually got an email at work with pictures of these 2 boys and i dunno i somehow got curious...wait it was more like "attracted" and wanted to find out more abt these 2 boys. They are both not so bad looking. I mean there is no denying it as gay people exist all around the world, even here. So yeah, the taller guy is j.law and the smaller one is kirio. Apparently j.law is a young model, i think and kirio is 16. I actually saw quite a number of pictures in my search and these are my favourites. Oh yeah... i'm pro gay ppl =D)) and enjoy the pics

i found this picture a lil' bit scandalous... hahahah =P

I like this photo... its very nice

Ok so i'll update again on sunday abt the wedding... heheheheh... i hope no one is disturbed by the pics =D)) it's just my point of view and what i have seen around here and there in my life.

Hellew all... for starters... i have not updated me blog bcoz i was not in tip top shape... lets just say i broke under the pressure just a bit... Now i'm slowly getting back on my feet so yeah this will be a long week. Actually last week i wanted to upload some videos but it took freaking long and i did not know what to do. Oh yes something really funny happened when i was taking some files at work. I was at another section and i was taking my files back. Since i'm so used to all the ppl in that section, they tell me things and they joke around with me. Today it so happened that one of them, a guy; decided to confide in me after he went to the toilet. He started to untuck his shirt, not that i was noticing and then he started telling me how his pants got a lil bit ripped while he was in the toilet.... hahahahahah i found it a bit "TMI" and i was like ok i dun need to know. Any you know what... he continues on and tells me the exact location of where his pants ripped and how it happened... hahahaha... crazy yeah.... Now back to my pics, you will see the moo family... hehehehh
